    Thank God someone finally said it.
    “Francisco Lindor is the most underrated player in baseball” has been one of the most annoying narratives the last few years. Right up there with “Tim Anderson is actually an amazing person and an amazing teammate who’s just misunderstood because he flips his bat and calls himself Jackie Robinson”. Right up to the point where J-Ram KO-d him and all of a sudden we could all agree that TA is a douchebag diva and “Down goes Anderson!” was therapeutic for all of us.

      I think underrated is a massive stretch, but under appreciated is a fair term. People dont act like hes a top SS anymore meanwhile id struggle to think of more than Seager or Turner over him. And personally in that case, im taking between Turner and Lindor, seager can sit in the IL corner lmao
      SS is a premium position and a guy who plays nearly 160 every year, can go 30-30 with GG defense, it shouldn't take a rocket surgeon to see the value of Lindor.

But WAR can be misleading - anyone who watches the Mets knows that Pete Alonso, for example, is more valuable to the Mets lineup - when he's on, the Mets are winning. Yet because of positional adjustment he will never have more than 4 or 5 WAR, and Lindor can be an average hitter and end up with the same amount.

      Depends on how you define worth. Is it just and fair that guys who hit a ball make tens of millions of dollars? Eh. Do they deserve the going market rate based on league revenue? Probably, yes. A guy like Mike Trout was worth upwards of $60 million a year about twelve years ago. It's incredibly rare for players to have seasons that amazing, but with current market rates guys like Lindor are actually underpaid while make obscene amounts of money.

      Lindor isn't underrated. it's using the wrong term. I do, however, believe he is underappreciated. Guy is in my opinion hands down top 3 in baseball and I think hes 1, but hes constantly being shot down. Arcia made the ASG over him last year, if that doesnt show the disrespect lmao i dont know what does. Then again, its a dumb fan vote and Lindor usually starts off slow so hes just not a good candidate for the arbitrary ASG requirements lmao

    @AR0dful 19 дней назад +1

    I think it’s pretty hard to say Lindor is underperforming to his contract, since (while massive) it is inflated by his position. When comparing Lindor to the other players in his 300m pay range that you listed (Judge, Harper, Betts, Machado), he does get dwarfed by most of them purely offensively, but he also provides the most value at the toughest defensive position in baseball. There’s no other SS on that list, and the other SS’s who got paid somewhat recently (Bogaerts, Correa, Seager) get paid in the same range. Personally, if I had to choose from those 4 SS’s to get my every day guy, I’m probably taking Lindor as he’s the most reliable health-wise and gives you elite defense with 30-30 potential every year.
    SS is a tough market and the price tag will always be steep. Lindor will be a HOF player with 5 more good seasons, and I think that warrants him being paid with the elite SS in the game.

    I'm a die hard Indians/Guardians fan... Back when the rumors of trading Lindor were swirling I was totally okay with sending him out of town knowing the big contract he'd be demanding (and as long as we got some controllable players in return). I knew he wouldn't blossom into a player he'd never been up until that point and any big contract would doom making any other signings/extensions.

    A great player signed to the Mets who maintains their numbers, is a win. We don’t expect players to get better when they Met. He’s definitely an over achiever, within the context of playing in Queens. But yeah we should trade him now before we get stuck with an aging player who loses any more value.

    Thank you - a lot of people insist on saying Lindor is "one of the best shortstops" and point to whichever advanced statistic suits their argument, but as a Mets fan, we all see him go through some pretty bad slumps when the team needs him the most. Even last year, he finished strong but was hitting around .220 through June when they called it a season and started to rebuild. His Cleveland numbers were better than as a Met, but his power was inflated by the juiced ball, and the AL Central in the late 2010s was weak as hell. I still remember him not running out a ground ball during the first month of his new contract and getting booed, thinking "We should have made him prove he's worth the money for a year instead of just handing it out before he's shown anything as a Met." I wish the best for Lindor but he's inconsistent as hell and hasn't proved he's worth the money, or being seen as the "face of the franchise." He reminds me of Carlos Beltran in a lot of ways, although Beltran missed more time and was a bit better when he played.

Arguably the best hockey player on the planet, Connor McDavid doesn’t even make $15 million per year. NHL salary cap restrains over spending. Kind of sad when you see a player like Lindor, not the best player in the world making more than double.

    Sandy Alderson came out of retirement on the behest of Cohen for one year to get things started. then for whatever reason he decided to sign Lindor, before he ever played as a Met, before Lindor's walk year started. That year he also signed James McCann $80mil who the Mets are still paying for. Alderson could make elite pitching staffs (Oakland previously), he drafted well, traded pretty well, but he was sorta clueless with position player signings. Curtis Granderson was initially supposed to go 3-4 with Wright, the Wright contract didn't work out but that was more an injury fluke, and Cespedes MIA, but then there was Cuddyer for 2 years even though he rejected the Rockies' qualifying offer. There're more i can't think of atm. I think as his last hurrah for his legacy he wanted to imitate the Mookie Betts signing, in interviews he used big words all the time for no real reason, think he wanted to be perceived as smarter than he was. Anyway, watching this video i can see that Lindor's swing with the Indians was much more level than it is now. I don't think he's gonna get any better, amount of times i've seen him K on 3 pitches batting left handed, swinging over top an inside breaking ball, it's like he's lost. Problem with the contract is also the ego, he is the worst 3-hole hitter in baseball. Man should be batting 7th or 8th.

You could argue that he maybe was overrated a tiny bit in his final few years as a Nat, but as a Phillie? Absolutely not. He’s been consistently better in Philly than he was in DC. Since 2019, his OPS is .929 (7th in the league in that time period and ahead of guys like Betts, Acuna, and Tatis), he won an MVP, nearly single-handedly dragged the Phillies to a World Series appearance, and has had a playoff OPS over 1.100 the last 2 years. If anything, he’s massively underpaid for the value he provides on the field and off the field.
