It's sad that a 19% strike out rate has somehow become acceptable.
Just thinking out loud.

Eh, I mean, that's the game today, even Trout struck out at a 20% clip last year. It's def something that a team can easily live with if the player produces.
Like Cavan Biggio, he cut his strikeout rate by almost 10% this year to 19.7%, but that comes with a 14.8% walk rate in addition to a .270ish average, all added up, that's solid numbers.

Its the evolution of the game. Pitchers throw sk much harder now and many hitters focus more on launch angle with big upward swings. HRs and Ks are the name of the game.

Did you not see where Eatyum said Lindor has a higher K%? And I just gave you the points that show Trevor IS a better defender lol. Just blatantly ignoring facts now bro. 2019 Trevor was a better 5 tool player than Lindor.
Story has struck out 700 times in 2200 career abs so i doubt trevor has a lower k rate the Lindor. Just ignoring facts bro.

I agree. Just said Lindor isn't as slow as 56. Id say he should be around 67- 69 I love me some Count chocula

When Lindor ends up with the dodgers or Yankees and has some protection in the lineup the rest of the country will see. I doubt there are too many gms that would take story over Lindor

I mean for how cheap the Indians give up their players, (See Clevinger), yeah, if I was a GM I'd hit up the Indians first to LOL.

just wait until next year when we give away Jram for a bucket of baseballs and a few packs of sunflower seeds.
After Lindors traded they will tear it to the ground. Its hard to have a lower payroll but they will definitely try

I know why its happening, I dont have to like it.
I remember windmills like Rob Deer and Micky Tettleton being mocked endlessly. They would fit right in now.

I think there is a bias here. I also believe more people would be more aware of how good Story is, if Nolan wasn't on the Rockies. Lindor immediately comes to mind because he is the face of the Tribe.
