Ive read some dumb shite on here over 10 years or so, but I honestly cannot fathom people hating on this kid for anything. Even if he had a subpar CWS. these people should be perma banned

Bregman is a great player, but he wasn't the best SS in the game last year.

Not by much, but Trea Turner is a far superior SS to Bregman.

They had roughly the same BA (.368/.369), Trea had 1 more HR, a higher SLG%, higher OBP, almost double the SB (16/30) and plays a much better Defense. That's taking nothing away from Bregman, but Turner is possibly a top 5 pick in the draft. He has the glove to stay at SS in the bigs, while Bregs will need a move to 2B.

I see Bregs being remarkably similar to Aaron Hill in the MLB, which is a great thing. Turner is probably a very poor man's Tulo, which is still an asset.

If Bregman could've remained at C, I would have no doubt he would be a top 5 pick in 2015. But teams know he won't stay at SS, so he'll go late 1st Rd.

Go for it. There are multiple openings for that position anyway.

The not by much was put there so people would flip their shite and say I am hating on Bregman. I am not. I love Bregman. But as far SS goes, I'll take Trea Turner 10 times out of 10. You get a roughly equal bat, better speed, and far better D.

Bregman was 1st team AA over Turner, and won the Brooks Wallace award (nations best SS) over Turner.

the kid from Stephen F Austin was good too, but lesser conference.

He got the LSU treatment (similar to the bama/ND/USC treatment in CFB).

Trea was better in every statistical category except Batting average by .001. I do know Trea Turner is a top 5 pick this year in the MLB draft and Bregman will not be a top 5 pick in the MLB draft in '15.

You've got some impressive future-tellin' skills. Do you work for Baseball America by chance? Initials "AF"?

Getting kids to play for the team and not themselves is trite? I coach baseball for a living and the kid is spot on. There is a huge entitlement culture and it's a big problem. It's becoming more and more difficult to get kids to buy into the team concept. Nothing trite or trivial about what he said AT ALL.
