Okay, but to play DH in today’s game means that you have to be significantly above the average hitter to have any value. Otherwise what is the point in having a player like him? Not saying that I think he’s bad or even meh, but it would make sense if you were to say that. He’s not the type of player you would want to extend to a long contract due to batting average difficulties, so he’s destined to be a journeyman.

I think “meh” is perfect for him, looking at his baseball reference page all of his stats are just above league average (with exception of batting average that’s below average and too many K’s) Which wouldn’t be a problem if DH/ OF wasn’t such a competitive market. I think he’s a perfectly capable Major League Baseball player but not much more. This is coming from a DIE HARD Braves fan btw.

Baseball isn't like some other sports... you don't need championships or MVPs to be a part of a Hall of Fame conversation, you just need to be consistently good. But even if you wanted to consider that, Lindor's 2016 postseason was awesome (he hit .370 in the ALCS and .300 in the World Series) and Cleveland lost the World Series in extra-innings of Game 7 because they had no pitching, so it wasn't his fault. He's finished Top-10 in MVP voting 5 times (3 times in the AL, 2 times in the NL), doing so while playing one of the most important positions on the field at a Gold Glove level and switch-hitting. In fact, you could argue he's the greatest switch-hitting SS in MLB history. As long as he has a healthy 3-4 more seasons at his usual numbers, he's an easy HOF choice.

Idk if you can call a guy that had an ERA+ of 140 from 2015-2018 a bust. Like I get it, he was drafted as a starter and didn't really pan out, and his career had a steep decline, but I would argue the Cubs got more than enough out of him during that 2015-2018 stretch. Obviously taking a whole career into account, maybe I agree with you, but if we're judging him strictly as a reliever and from what the Cubs got out of him, I believe they would say they hit on Carl Edwards Jr. From 2017-2018 alone he had an ERA+ of 153, with 118.1 innings combined over the two seasons. Great video and definitely enjoy the content, we may just have different criteria for what a bust is. You don't necessarily need to have extreme career longevity, especially for relievers, I believe a 3-4 year stretch of great pitching is more than enough to say he was at least meh.
@AndThatsBaseball

I get what you’re saying, but short term productive relievers aren’t too hard to come by.

I personally don’t think he was great for long enough out of the pen to overcome that.

Great video, I think the grading system presents an interesting question on which kind of careers you would take from a prospect. The Blue Jays would probably take the career of Aaron Sanchez, who was a very good starter for them during their contending years in 15-16 over someone like Heaney who has made a longer career but hasn't had Sanchez's peaks. Both are "Mehs" though

Regardless Soler is an everyday starter so I'd call that a success regardless of how good he is. A majority of players signed don't even touch the MLB.

6:33 I've always felt bad for Carl Edwards Jr since he was pulled from the mound in the 10th inning of Game 7 - he had the opportunity to be immortalized by throwing the last pitch of the Cubs' worlds series. Good to see he had some metrics of success, though

put some respect on Mark Appel. Dude battled hard to get his stuff on track, and then quit baseball because he never thought he’d make it. Went to philly, found his love for the game, and made it to the show. Didn’t have the career he wanted, but at least he made it where he thought he wouldn’t.

“Despite having 4, the Pirates had 0 hits.” Says it all about that organization. Either their player development system/major league coaching staff screws up the players or their prospects are all hype and no substance. It’s so much FUN being a Pirates fan the last 32 years…
