Would you rather have Mike Trout with current contract or the first overall pick in next 5 drafts?

When you watch a game on TV egghead, (I assume you've at least watched a game), when a guy steps to the plate for an AB, does the network, be it Fox, ESPN, TBS, whoever, post the guys batting average, HR's and RBI, or do they post his WAR, OPS, and XYZ?

BA, HR and RBI. I'd like to add that MLB front offices use what Fox, ESPN and TBS post exclusively to make team personnel decisions. That's the only smart way of going about it.

No, I don't. I wish I could be as good and strong as super-athlete super-human internet tough guy UK was

Just countering your BS. I knew I'd hit a button when I asked if you played past HS or coached. Panties in a was Omar?

Still waiting on the Correa/A-Rod comp

UK seriously doesn't know what an analogy is!

Yes I do Egghead. And I didn't need spellcheck to know how to spell it

We should all just listen to the John Kruk's and Goose Gossage's and Tim McCarver's of the world, right?

I'd like to add Rob Dibble to your list. He used to have a show on XM and thanks to all the time he spent playing ball beyond high school and coaching little league teams, practically everything he said was pure baseball genius.

I always wondered what the Injuns been doing

Excellent addition. We also need A.J. Pierzynski on this panel, who astutely pointed out that Corey Kluber had a bad 2015 season because he went 9-16

Watch film of ARod at 20. Watch film of Correa .Break down their mechanics. Tell us whether their swings are linear or rotational, I'm sure you can do that....(Omar searching for baseball encyclopedia...)

Your love is like a knife; it cuts both ways.

Woah, so a linear swing is the key to success? What the fuck is everyone doing? Anyone who has a rotational swing just needs to switch to a linear swing and then they can all be Hall of Famers!!!

Good call. I mean, everyone knows that if you're a good pitcher, you find a way to win.

They're both Mexican shortstops. Am I right, @MiamiVice ?

 

[Omar 382]

Yeah, and you can't forget Nomar and Omar Vizquel (edit- Vizquel had a rotational swing, scratch him from the list)

Dude, you're fucking talking out of your ass. I DID play baseball. For 15 years. You are what's wrong with baseball fans today

My 12 year old team after winning the league championship
I hit .472 that year and batted third in the lineup, playing right field and first base. I don't know my OBP/SLG WAR because this happened in the late 2000's, where advanced statistics weren't mainstream in MLB much less little league. After that, I was on the district all-star team, hitting 5th in the lineup. We finished third in the state, and the team that won the state championship (Brandywine) went on to appear on ESPN in the LLWS. So again, you're talking out of your ass

You don't know a thing about me Omar, other than I don't like you

My high school team winning the 2012 state championship. I was on JV that year, and got derailed later in high school and never appeared on varsity.
