Is MLB Network's Shredder Out to Get the Royals? Let's Discuss!
Posted: Fri Jan 24, 2025 6:41 pm
The recent rankings from MLB Network's Shredder have sparked quite a debate among baseball fans, particularly regarding the Kansas City Royals. It seems like the Shredder has a serious bias against our boys in blue, and it's hard not to feel a bit outraged.
First off, how can you overlook Salvador Perez, a nine-time All-Star and the 2021 home run champ, in the catcher rankings? His consistent performance and leadership behind the plate should earn him a spot, right? And then there's Bobby Witt Jr., who has been nothing short of phenomenal with a staggering 16.2 fWAR over the last two seasons. How does he not make the top ten shortstop list?
This brings up some interesting questions: Are these rankings a reflection of the players' true abilities, or are they just a product of the Shredder's questionable metrics? What do you think is the most significant factor in evaluating a player's current performance? Is it traditional stats, advanced metrics, or something else entirely?
Moreover, could this perceived disrespect towards the Royals be a blessing in disguise? Could it fuel the players to prove the critics wrong this season?
Let’s hear your thoughts! Do you agree with the Shredder's rankings, or do you think it’s time for a serious reboot? What bold predictions do you have for the Royals this upcoming season?
