Javier Baez 2014 ROY-MVP-World Series MVP Thread

[Bort]

In short, since 2005, various teams have collectively paid him a decent seven-figure sum to lose around ten more games for them than (and I think I'm correct in saying this) if they'd just played me at SS.

No offense, but I don't think you're the statistical baseline for replacement level. Do they even have baseball in Austria?

They call it Rounders, and it's a sort of pastry filled with fish.

That's weird, you'd think Jim would have made draft picks after the first round.

He let Todd Ricketts make the rest of the picks.

Javier Baez, the most polarizing, most discussed, and most hyped prospect in the Chicago Cubs' farm system, is at the center of attention again.

Unless "polarizing" can also mean "completely turgid pole-inducing," I have no idea what they're going on about there.
