If the steals aren't going to come back, I'd rather have someone like Arenado, in addition to Trout and Yelich, than Mookie. Without steals, Mookie is still a first-round caliber player, but no longer a top 3 player in my opinion. Hopefully he'll start running again. ok do you the trade than.

That’s like saying I would rather have a blue Rolls Royce over a red one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mlb2019 170 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Betts and Benintendi are both struggling. this might sound simple or even dumb but switching both of them in the batting order was dumb from the start. should have sold high on him in a keeper league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True but it's his power and RBI numbers that have been suffering this year. Gotta think he starts hitting for average and lays off the power IF there's an approach change.

RotoGenius 1,004 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 His career line is 302/372/515.... is it so crazy to think his true talent level is closer to that than his MVP level from last year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes he's not going to sniff last year's numbers but he's still a threat to get 25/25 even in a "down" year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K:BB still elite have to think he’ll go on a tear soon. Don't get me wrong, I'm still hoping/expecting for Mookie to turn it around and start producing like a first rounder. Like you said, his K:BB ratio is elite and indicates his batting average has probably been unlucky so far this year. I'm just saying that Mookie so far has been pretty disappointing fantasy-wise relative to his ADP. He's been worse than his career averages in all 5 standard fantasy categories except for runs scored so far this year. I wasn't expecting a repeat of last year, but I wasn't expecting that he'd suddenly decline from his career averages at only 26 years old either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy_Slippers 3,935 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 xBA -.270 xSLG - .493 xwOBA - .391 His K% and BB% remain elite, but his hard%, barrel%, and exit velocity are all down from last season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
meh2 3,498 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I find it odd that Mookie has alternated between MVP years and very good years over the last 4 years, yet the very good years seam to coincide with the juiced ball seasons (2017 & 2019 if you’re inclined to believe). I don’t know what to make of it (or if there is anything to it) but I just find it strange that he’s not hitting more dingers along with the rest of baseball. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buzzkilloton 248 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 We just need one hot streak and everything will be alright. Hes still going 4th in the NFCB mid season behind Trout/Yelich/Bellinger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mookie is only good in runs but the others are destroying him in all categories. He's a little overrated for a first rounder to be honest. he has 9 home runs when guys like Yelich and Bellinger have double the homers and 20 more rbis. Mookie's stats are more like a 3rd rounder this year. Edited June 3, 2019 by JetsAwesome Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At least in his down year in 2017, he was still very good in everything else besides batting average. This year, he's been a big disappointed in every category except for runs.

Not sure Im following. You think the ball was juiced in 2017, they went hack to the old ball in 2018, then juiced the ball again this year? Even if that true why/how would it affect Mookie specifically? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They really value speed in these leagues. As someone who owns Betts in 2/11 leagues and 0 Arenado I'd take him over Betts as well. That said Betts should hit a hot streak and be fine. Just be happy your 1st rounder wasnt JoRam. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mookie's stats are more like a 3rd rounder this year. I don't know if I've ever been so disappointed in a player as in Mookie this year. Sure, I've had picks that have been worse and I've had players that got injured for most of the year, but I had such high hopes for Mookie going into the season and he's come in so far under what I thought his floor was. I thought I was getting a 5 cat stud whose upside was the #1 overall player (as he had been 2 of the previous 3 years) and whose floor was still 2nd round caliber (as in his down year in 2016). Instead, I've gotten basically a 1 cat player (runs scored). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
