@GoodFundies I think most Mets fans really, really want Alvarez to be a star. He has all the intangibles (and a lot of tangibles too!). Just needs to put it all together.

@AutismCapital Pathetic and classless. Imagine being that rich and saying r*tarded in public. Be better (won’t ever happen)

@EconomPic I don’t disagree but Ichiro is a weird comp, especially when using career stats. Didn’t play MLB until age-27. First 10 years: .331/.376/.430, 115 wRC+, 53 fWAR Final 9 years: .268/.309/.342, 80 wRC+, 4 fWAR

@pitdesi @ATabarrok Why let facts get in the way of narrative?

@MattMonagan @CespedesBBQ That’s crazy I wonder how

@bennpeifert @dailydirtnap @NoelConvex More nebulous than the chart looks, but the low r2 with fwd 1Y perf isn’t a great rebuttal. No one (hopefully) thinks P/E predicts 1y returns. Multiples change, etc. But in the long run price paid matters. Even if using overlapping data overstates the case.

@kaizen_cap But you can do this? (G chart, not GF)

@Travis_Sawchik Meanwhile, Pedroia was an excellent second baseman, an accolade that has “worlds tallest midget” vibes.

@Travis_Sawchik @baseballhall I struggle to see how Pedroia is more deserving than Felix

So much money. Too much money? Who cares, not my money. Welcome to Queens, Juan Soto. #LFGM

@SherylNYT @nytimes @AmericanHealth Yeah no shit

@GoodFundies Galaxy brain take but…higher interest rates definitely increase the odds of Soto beating Ohtani’s nominal dollars at the margin? I think he settles around 600mm, but it’s not totally impossible he beats Ohtani if someone’s willing to go 14+ years.

@willystaley The ironic part is that Brian Williams’ daughter was on that show!

@shelbygrad @Lucas_Shaw Wait, how early is the print deadline? This game ended before 9pm…

@mike_petriello Higher career WAR/600 PA than Stanton...shame he had trouble staying on the field, was a HoF lock otherwise!

@GoodFundies He’s literally just name brand Edwin Encarnacion

@ASchatzNFL So basically he’s the football version of Alex Rodriguez
