Joe Carter?I'd still rather not have traded him!

Joe was my favorite, but I agreed with that trade.Joe Carter?
Agreed.......I wish he pitched for the Rangers still and not the Yankees, but I'm happy for the man. Class guy.Happy for Klubs and happy for what we got in return.
Mets will be desperate to get rid of him by next season. We could maybe take him off their hands if they want to eat 75% of his salary for the next ten years.Another 0fer for Lindor including a few Ks

Agreed. I'm not really interested in defending the guy. I always loved having him on the team, and he's a damn good ballplayer. However, I also knew he wasn't really an MVP-type player (just a notch below and there's nothing wrong with that), and that a lot of his "I love Cleveland and want to be here forever" stuff was mostly lip service.I'm not a big Lindor fan, but let's remember, we're not even one-fifth into the season yet. There's still a loooot of baseball to be played. Let's see where he's sitting at the 4th of July.
Oh goody! Another Lindor "Challenge!" We'll call this one the "Derek Expectation" to differentiate it from the "Trade Challenge"!I'll be surprised if at the end of the year he doesn't have an .800+ OPS and is worth 5+ fWAR.
Put me down for .767 OPS and 3.4 fWAROh goody! Another Lindor "Challenge!" We'll call this one the "Derek Expectation" to differentiate it from the "Trade Challenge"!
Challenge Updates:
"Trade"
Lindor bWAR: -0.1
Gimenez 0.3 + Rosario 0.1 = 0.4
"Derek"
Expectation: .800 OPS Current: .494
Expectation: 5.0+ fWAR Current: -0.1
In the same game, Beau Taylor is the catcher of Louisville Batssince it's opening night for the minor leagues - mike freeman is starting the season with Louisville - Reds AAA team
Damn -- very close to my prediction -- .769 OPS and 3.5 fWAR. I am perfectly fine splitting the prize if he gets close to our numbers.Put me down for .767 OPS and 3.4 fWAR
