    Acuna is going to run away with it. Should any of us be shocked if he has 5+ WAR?

    Would increase his already high HOF chances if that's the case.

    I think it’s a sign the team is improving when your 28 year old 5 war first baseman becomes an afterthought

    Yep, I almost brought that up when Enscheff said Albies will be our second best player this year... so it will be Acuna, then Albies, then Freeman..lol.

    Don't look now, but the old man in RF has the 2nd highest WAR in the NL thanks to a top 10 defensive WAR ranking.

    Since I don't track it, not sure exactly how close he is - but at $8 million/WAR he's going to come far closer to "earning" his contract than most people gave him a chance to. A 2 win season would put him at 5.3 over his 4 years.

    Not sure even the sunniest of sunny on him expected as much.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I don't think many expected Coppy/Hart to get fired and actually have an analytics minded front office come in and help Neck

    Neck has been saving himself for his walk year.

    Do you think he changed something. Not sure I agree. Just a good start. Or you referring to defensive positioning.
    Coppy

    Positioning has certainly helped some.

    Also a good portion of his plus defense so far is from his arm. Now that is something I think is just a fluke and not something I would expect to continue. So I would put that in the good start category. Still, Neck's overall game so far has been impressive.
