Yankees @ M's 6/1-6/3

Then who the hell do you want playing 3rd base, if he's so overrated?

My gawd... He's a solid player... He's not a stud... That's all i'm saying...

With what I hear from M's fans, who think he's a stud, I don't think he's there... That's why I think he's overrated...

That's your opinion and the numbers suggests that he's more than a solid player with his glove and bat. He has done nothing but trend upwards since he arrived and his numbers this year are even better.

He's not super-star status yet, but he's definitely one of the better 3B in the game.

He plays solid baseball but M's fans tend to place him in an entirely different category...

You guys rip on Cano like it's going out of style but tend to give Seager a pass...

Are you stupid? Look at the stats. Then factor in the salary on top of it. Cano gets ripped because he deserves to get ripped. Nobody's claiming that Seager is Mike Schmidt or something but we're certainly paying Cano like he's the 2nd coming of Joe Morgan.

Great post... Don't disagree with anything you said... I just get tired of people giving him a pass...

It probably seems like that because he's once of the few successful players the Mariners have produced in a long time. I don't think most people think he's anything more than he is, which is a solid, everyday 3rd baseman who adds value to the team.

Caught a huge break. Lucky shit.

Hilarious. Do you even watch the games? Seager is overrated but nobody should rip Cano for all he's done so far this year?

That's how I view him... Good post...

No, we give Seager a "pass" because he plays top 3 3rd basemen in the American league

We rip on cano because he is paid to be playing like the best 2nd basemen and he is not playing like that.

Nice to know our standards are low... He's a solid player... That's about it...

Yea I mean I can't force you to know a thing about baseball so I wont, I'll just laugh.

Like I said, prove me wrong... Good thing we at least have a guy hitting .272 on the team... Yay!... Someone who has hit .275 overall with RISP and .222 with 2outs in RISP... What a great hitter...

Says the guy who wrote "I probably know more about baseball than you" before you edited your post.

2.6 WAR in 2012 - His second season.
3.9 WAR in 2013.
5.8 WAR in 2014.

Yup.. He's overrated, because a batting average is a good way to go at it.

He has, but you go ahead and keep on thinking batting avg is the only way to measure a baseball hitter.

 

[Anointed One]

I think we're ok with Seager because he's hitting his average... Great... He is what he is... He's a great glove at 3rd and an average hitter...

Interesting how it's ok to rip Cano and give Seager a pass... I see why he's given a pass because he is what he is... I'm fine with that if M's fans wouldn't keep putting him on a pedestal... Do you guys really think Cano is going to continue to stink?
