As you may be able to infer, I have a less than desirable gamer tag, I’ve made enough progress on this account and have ps plus for a year, so making a new account would just be a pain right now. I’ve looked it up and see that a name change caused some issues on mlb 18 but can’t find anything more recent, does anyone know if it’ll be a problem?

@GrandpaShaft still waiting on that best hitter of all time dude

Bro i responded weirdo. Mike trout. Barry bonds. Take your pick. One of them. If I was a GM and had a choice of every hitter to ever play Id choose one of them.

Actually you said modern era so sorry for asking about all time.
Odd you didn’t pick Babe Ruth who leads in both OPS and WAR though, kinda weird to base your whole argument on Joe Carter on stats you don’t base your best hitter all time on

Someone who didnt play against black or spanish people is entirely irrelevant to everything. Bonds leads in both in the modern era. Try again.

Yikes

Go look at Zimmerman and Neil Walkers Accomplishments and then Go look at Joe Carters careers. Look at the MVP voting, the AS appearances the awards over a career mean nothing you you people who only believe that a players career is solely based of War which is based on a formula and not how a player actually played.

You dont know how to use this site. You arent responding to anyone. Anyways nobody is basing anything off war. Carter wasnt thay great outside of war. Zimmerman has a better OPS.

Again what has Zimmerman done, How many AS games how many top 10 or 20 MVP voting. You really think Ryan Zimmerman was a better player cause WAR tells you that. This is laughable

Is everyone on this site just brain dead? Can you read dude? For now the second time Zimmerman has a better career OPS.......thats not WAR. Thats a traditional stat. It is laughable that you cant read or use google

When you will get it that comparing Zimmerman to Carter proved my point that WAR is overrated.

I hope you are just trolling at this point. Ryan zimmerman is the better player by traditional stats as well, as I have pointed out many times now

Not even close at all, Accomplishments will show that.

Dude. You are slow. Are you really going to use all star appearances as a measure to who is better? Is starlin castro better than kris bryant?

Since WAR is to much for your brain lets use traditional stats.

BA - Ryan
OBP- ryan
Slugging - ryan

The dude has a better Batting average, on base and slugging. What even is the argument anymore? Ryan zimmerman is the better player and its not just WAR that tells us that. You didnt do very well in school did you?

Actually dude has been pretty clear what he's getting at, and you're too slow to hear it. Here's the point:

I think people remember Joe Carter as fondly as they do because of context. Think about it this way:

1. He was the cleanup hitter on back-to-back champion Jays teams.

2. He was the best RF in the American League at the time. Canseco was better, but not by 92-93 thanks to injuries, Winfield was a DH now, and nobody else was close. The NL the only one clearly better was Tony Gwynn. Could make an argument for a young Larry Walker/Dave Justice, but they were really young at the time.

3. Also remember he came up big in the WS for the Blue Jays. He had 11 RBI in 12 WS games those 2 years, including the walkoff homer that won the '93 series.

Put into context, people watching baseball between 1985-1995 thought Joe Carter was a great player. Not sure-fire HOF material, but borderline.

Can you ever even make something resembling an argument that Ryan Zimmerman:

1. Received any real MVP consideration in any year?
2. Meant much of anything to a team that won anything?
3. Would be considered anywhere close to the best player at his position in the NL, or top 2-3 in the MLB?

The Jays, who were already good, traded away Fred McGriff and Tony Fernandez (McGriff was great, and Fernandez was a good hitter, really fast, and an elite SS), in their primes, to get Joe Carter. That says a lot for how the MLB viewed that player in 1990. Zimmerman has always been viewed as a good player, but not a difference maker. Joe Carter was. No context when you just look at numbers of players who played 25 years apart.

Id like you to send me the people who thought a 306 on base was borderline HOF.

I can make a resembling argument that Zimmerman was a significantly better hitter by all metrics. The OPS isnt all that close. And yes Zim was 100% considered a top tier third baseman in his prime.

We are sitting here arguing about a 770 ops hitter. Just because he played on good teams and hit a cool home run makes him better than someone who is clearly better by all metrics AND traditional stats. Better average on base and slugging. And some arent even close. Thats Weird.

I actually agree with most of what you said, I just disagree in my opinion Carter was better, We just look at the stats differently and the 306 is not much lower than Zimmermans 343. I will take the 400 plus 300 plus HR the less K rate per plate appearance and Carters 771 to Zimmerman's 818 not much of a difference and over 200 more Rs, almost 200 more SB. SlG is very close, Zimmerman had more BB. I do not think Carter is a HOF. I do think what puts him there is the WS and playoff performances.

Bruh. A 306 to a 343 on base is HUGEEEEE. Once again he had 2000 more ABs. Thats why his counting stats are better. So yes you would take a 771 OPS to a 818 OPS, which is just insane and makes no sense.

You saying you will take carter because of what he did in the playoffs is actually a real correct arguement. Because during the regular season across their entire careers zim was the better hitter

Go take Carters 7 best seasons and put them next to Zimmermans 7 best. It ain’t even close

You are right lol. Its not close.

Full seasons only

Carters best 5 OPS - 849, 841, 833, 808, 802

Zim- 930, 899, 888, 824, 824

You were correct. It wasnt close. This dude you love so much never saw a OPS above 850 for a full season.

Dude there is more to a player stat then OPS get off the OPS [censored] already, How many WS did the A's win building teams around OPS? 0 again 0 and again 0 every year since Money Ball Model arrived

OPS is what everyone is using lmao. It shows how often you are in base and how often you slug. Its literally the best stat to show how good a hitter is. And joe effing carter never once OPSed over 850.

Bro. Go look at the last 5 world series winners and where they ranked in OPS. Im not sure why you just used a team with zero budget to prove a point lmao.

The Astros Tank one of those WS by cheating and it is possible so did the RedSox

besides the point. Nats were sixth last year .houston was first. The year before. Boston was first, dodgers were third. 2017 -astros first. 2016- cubs third indians 5th.

Turns out the best teams have the best OPS! how crazy is it that the best teams get on base and hit for power!!!! CRAZYYYYYYY

Im genuinely curious as to who you think is the best hitter of all time, no argument, just wondering you think it is

Modern era would be Barry bonds and Mike trout

Nah I’m not talking era, best of all time

Market prices definitely get lower at night right?

@MarinerMatt01 said in Collections:

You do get Allen as well, who is a pretty good reliever for me (at least at this stage of the game)

Forgot to mention him...definitely looks like a good arm, but I feel like Isringhausen will also be a good option

@Hikes83 said in Collections:

Walter is pop with an extra “o”

And I don’t mean popo

Yea I figured he was gonna be garbage
Thanks bud

Should I keep Lindor to complete the AL central and get that Walter card, or should I sell Lindor to buy Baez and Flaherty to get one card away from the NL central and the Stargell?

I don’t understand for the life of me why they even have momentum for the playoffs, it does absolutely nothing. Just swept through the LDS and LCS and I had full momentum for the entire thing and had one lead the entire time. It does nothing
