I didn't name any pitchers or even Diaz yet.

Well I guess we agree to disagree then.

I have no issue with some guys on your list, but you seem to mainly be taking hitting into account. Not only is Julio a great outfielder, but he’s going to swipe 30-40 bases a season.

Many of the guys you listed are awful in the field or on the base paths (Schwarber, Yordan, etc.).

If we are strictly talking about players you’d build a team around (taking into account age), the only players I’d think about taking over Julio would be Ohtani, Judge and Acuna. Other guys are either getting older or don’t impact the game in enough ways (Vlad, Yordan, etc).

I love how I put a guy on ignore, and he's still obsessed with me. And obsessed with his hate for Julio. I know you were babbling about top 25. It's called sarcasm.
Just take the L and shut your pie hole for once, Qbert.

I'm digging the "show ignored content" button. Can just pop in from time to time and see what hilarious takes I can read.
The fact that someone is so hell bent on blasting and/or downplaying Julio is just pure gold.

Julio is now the fastest to 50 home runs in Mariners history. Wow.

If his body holds he will have all the Ms records..
Does he get a gold glove this year?

Should.

But remember, still not top 25
How cute.

What does a mariner history have anything to do with top 25?

That's like comparing cats and dogs.

Also, you realize that in 2013 they moved the fences in.

The ignore/foe function works well.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

It really has been nice. Best advice you've ever given me.

Friendly reminder:

J-Rod > A-Roid

 

[Ycrew]

So is Julio top 25 or what LOL I told you

Whoa. You predicted Julio would run into a wall (a-la Ken Griffey) and get a high ankle sprain?

 

[Hawkinaz]

J Rod has had a very disappointing season with 11 HR / 37 rbi and an OPS of .687 which is considered below average. He will have a lot to prove in 2025

A-Rod had the prettiest swing for a righty ever IMO. Too early to compare though. I loved A-Rod on the field. Almost everyone was on juice back then I don't hold it against him.

A lot of Mariners fans began hating A-Roid when he left. I allowed for him to build himself a long body of work before I finally came to the conclusion that he's a shitty person.

A Rod had some incredible career stats I don’t hold the steroids against him he deserves to be in the HOF, IMO it doesn’t make you a better player you already needed to have the talent the players that benefit the most are pitchers Roger Clemens is the best example his arm was dead after his last season with the Blue Jays he went on to play 9 more seasons

Exactly, my view on juice has changed a lot. Juice doesn't make someone a good baseball player.
