I think he had 80 his rookie year and 90 last year. He's a hitter with men on, he's also 20 plus homers.

Oh that's right. Defense doesn't matter to Sux fans.

Nobody ever said that. Why are Cub fans obsessed with lying? Is it a pathology?

Addy is a really good player but relax on the best player on the team stuff. 100 RBI is a reach for him and so is 30 HR. Great deal and Oakland really regrets that dumbass trade.

Why are Sox fans obsessed with posessing shitty baseball knowledge? Relative to the shortstop position an OPS over .700 isn't HORRIBLE especially when you play great defense at an elite position. Oh wait, too many big words for you.

What's the Cub fan obsession with lying? Who said it was horrible?

You used OPS(the only stat you seem to know how to look up, but you will learn more) as some 'Neg on Russell.

Nobody said he's the best player on the team( he very well could be in a year or two) he's the best glove I've seen on the cubs or Sox in my lifetime at any position, he's only 23 and he hit 21-95 last year..he will probably hit 30 a couple times in his career.

I'm aware there are other stats out there but when possible I only use objective ones.

It wasn't a negative comment either. That's a Cub fan mentality right there. It's simply saying he's probably not a star.

Not a star? GG shortstop and rakes with men on base..he's 23.

Yes, not a star. Francisco Lindor and Corey Seager are stars. Right now Russell is not a star. He's a good player. Let's not go fucking nuts because he wears a Cub jersey.

Danny told me that RBIs DON'T.MATTER! It's simply a function of people getting on base before any given at bat.

You just named the three best at the position, all are 23 with bright futures.

I didn't name Machado. If you think Russell is a top 3 SS currently you're insane.

You can't win this one today against Cub fans. It's a syndrome. :lol: Last time it was Baez was the best infielder ever.

Stick to hoops, pal. Machado plays 3rd base, Arrenado,Bryant,Machado for 3 best 3rd basemen.

100 RBI is very doable. He almost had it last night.

By the way, he has the nicest looking swing on the team.

Baez has better glove and range and would be everyday SS on about 25 of 30 MLB teams.

FF, I say this as a friend: stop making definitive baseball statements until you understand the game and its stats a bit better. Addison Russell is a stud shortstop at 23.
