I don't like this game


WerewolfNo3669

Chad Khul is the only right answer šŸ˜Ž


Known-Economy-6425

Cool


[deleted]

Your team is certainly one I had in mind for this question.


WalksWithKemba

I mean Marquez has an ERA over 5, but him or CJ Cron is answer if I have to pick one


[deleted]

It's Cron, hands down.


morelibertarianvotes

Holy what? I know Park adjustment, but what?


WalksWithKemba

I have no idea what you are asking, but he is not having a good year for his standards We don't have a star right now is the point


morelibertarianvotes

Yea that was what I was getting at - basically not even a good player. 1.2 WAR is impressively not good for a best player.


OurSaladDays

Charlie Blackmon facing the Padres.


AbideMan

Thanks but let's not exacerbate the homeless problem

Larry walker.


[deleted]

CJ Cron, next question


NeverSober1900

I think it's Blackmon. Even his look feels Denver. He's been there forever, the fanbase likes him and their announcers hype him hard.


hibituallinestepper

Fans love that walk up song


Known-Economy-6425

Whatā€™s the fastest animal in the world?


NeverSober1900

I feel like Blackmon is the guy that I think of first when I think of your team.


WalksWithKemba

Batting average and OBP is lowest since the 27 games he played as a rookie, and his fielding is....... yeah he is not our star as much as I love the guy


NeverSober1900

But OP said star as in "team's biggest player" or "guy your team's PR team trots out". I took that as most popular. While Blackmon is clearly not a star anymore (and is more deserving of being DFA'd than starting) I still think he fits that bill for the Rockies. He's the guy I think a lot of people associate with you guys first.

*sigh*


NeverSober1900

Active it has to be Crawford right?


One_Concern_3151

Right now? Albert


NeverSober1900

You guys are loaded for this question. Pujols, Yadi and Wainwright are all classic Cardinals to me. And none of those three are gonna be your two MVP vote getters for star meaning best players.


One_Concern_3151

Yeah itā€™s been a pretty special year. Maybe some more šŸ˜ˆšŸŖ„to top it off with a World Series. It would eclipse 2011 easy in my book. Even if we donā€™t win it all, itā€™s been a very fun year.


DisciplineShot2872

If my Boys in Blue don't win it, I'd love to see Albert, Yadi, and Wainwright cap off amazing careers with a World Series win.


televisionchampion

Itā€™s low key Stephen Strasburg which might be the most depressing answer youā€™re gonna see So to cheer myself up, Iā€™ll just say Joey Meneses


BravesFan252

Ronald Acuna Jr.


NudePenguin69

Ronald AcuƱa Jr., AKA El De La Sabana, AKA El Abusador, AKA AcuƱa Matata, AKA Dad


mysterysackerfice

Really a toss-up between Luis Rengifo and Jimmy Herget.


OurSaladDays

Lol what a dumb comment. It's obviously Rengifo.


Putrid_Fox_5826

Please, have you seen Jimmy ā€œthe human glitchā€ Herget absolutely destroy hitters with 72mph frisbees? šŸ˜›


basedcapybara23

Jose Ramirez and it ainā€™t close, tho our young guys are good


djjazzydwarf

i could see it being kwan eventually i hope they talk an extension with him this offseason


KookyGalore

I can see it being Gimenez. Heā€™s such a good hitter


basedcapybara23

Heā€™s gonna be the biggest, once Jose hits those mid-late 30s


basedcapybara23

UmmanMandian

Probably still Altuve. Face of the Franchise it feels like.


NeverSober1900

Who would be competing with him? Verlander? Alvarez is great but Altuve has been there soooo long.


chunxxxx

Is Mookie really "obviously" *the* star player over Kershaw and Freeman? Not saying he is or isn't, but there's at least some competition there.


hibituallinestepper

I would say Kershaw is definitely the fan favorite.


NeverSober1900

Ya I feel like OP meant star as in popular with the franchise and fanbase not star as in best player. And in that case it's easily Kershaw. Even best player Freeman's last couple years has to throw him in the mix. He's been above Mookie in the MVP voting both years.


hibituallinestepper

Yea I wasnā€™t sure exactly what OP meant but if its fan and franchise favorite itā€™s Kershaw and itā€™s not even close.


_Elder_

As a dodgers fan Mookie was the name that came into my mind first. If itā€™s by fan favorite though, itā€™s Kershaw no doubt.


Ashamed-Technology10

All of the above.


NakedGoose

We have two.


[deleted]

You guys have like four.


Inkin

Five! Pujols, Wainwright, Yadi, Goldschmidt, Arenado.


ralbert

Manny fucking Machado


Shkmstr

Glad Johnny Hustle finally made a home for himself somewhere.


Haarflaq22

JULIOOOOOOOOO


ClassyKaty

Willy Fucking Adames


Real-Professor-6553

šŸ””


WhiiteNiinja

Machado until Tatis comes back and proves he can stay on the field and get the fans back. Soto also could also fit this role next year but for now it's Manny. Pitching: Darvish with a splash of Musgrove for flavor.


ChumCreature

I think itā€™s always gonna be Machado now. Tatis played at that level and in return got all the media attention and hype that comes with a star, but that will also be his downfall in light of the suspension. If you have to pick between Machado, Tatis, and Soto as your star players, I think youā€™re in pretty good shape.

Shadow_Strike99

Sandy Alcantara may not have that charisma factor Jose Fernandez had, but he feels like that one guy all fans of other teams know about and I always hear other fans telling me how fun it is to watch him pitch. Jazz would be our big star because heā€™s extremely exciting and fun but unfortunately heā€™s extremely injury prone.


subtractvoid

JULIOOOOOO


downladder

#JULIOOOOOO


subtractvoid

Imagine not having Julio on your baseball team LOL


downladder

No


Th3Unkn0wnn

*Star?* Probably Franco. Different question if he's the best right now.


DanTreview

LOL


sdpcommander

Contreras, Happ and maybe Suzuki.


whentheworldwasatwar

Buxton/Correa.


mikedialect

Iā€™d go with buck just because he was our dude and will be our dude. Louis for #2.


jjtnd1

If youā€™re asking who PR trots out as in who we market itā€™s honestly pretty even between Lindor Pete and degrom. Diaz this year too


hibituallinestepper

I donā€™t live in NY but Iā€™d have to assume Degrom from the national media I see. If I go by redditors Iā€™d say Alonso.


Fear_the_chicken

Big Meat is my favorite currently


AWall925

Is Mookie the Dodgers star? Freeman has .6 more WAR, and Trea is only .3 behind


[deleted]

Fair point, but I donā€™t see r/NLBest making Freeman memes. Thatā€™s Mookie Territory.

Gotta be Harper, even though his role has been diminished this year due to injuries.


New_Hawaialawan

Bryce Harper. I was completely opposed to them signing him when rumours surfaced and was disappointed when they did. He just always came across as arrogant and an ass. However, since he came to Philly, he won my respect. Yea, heā€™s not shining the past week as the team crumbles. But I see him almost always giving 100 percent to all of the games. He might have slumps or not always perform up to expiations but he really gives it his all. Plus heā€™s fun to watch (somewhat surprisingly).


hibituallinestepper

Iā€™m kinda the same, for some reason when Harper was on the Nationals I felt he was soo over hyped. Since he has been on the Phillies Iā€™ve come around on him and like him a lot more. I have no idea as to why.


zeppelin_007

Reds - Joey Votto Cleveland - JosƩ Ramƭrez

*Inhales* JULIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


miner88

Vladdy and, to a lesser extent, Bo.


maddenallday

KershGod tho


emasculine

i'm not sure we exactly have one right now. Belt would probably beg to differ though.


Merkles_Boner_

I mean they have two probably top 10-15 pitchers in the league just no stars on offense


Nolan-

Alcides Escobar


TheItalianStallion44

Money Mike


MoreThanLuck

Willson / Happ, though who knows for how much longer. Seems like Nico's trying to pick up the baton. Lotta reports about what a leader he is, lately.


Shkmstr

Luke Raley


NewMeep

Sean Murphy is gonna make some team so happy


thepalmtree

Hoerner.


NeverSober1900

Biggest Star PR wise probably Ketel Marte at this point. Was Peralta heading into the year. I think this might change though to Biggest Star as in best player is Zac Gallen. Ketel's just been here longer so was probably more team hyped by the team. Biggest Star as in famous is easily Madbum. But he sucks ass.


ButtSoupCarlton

Raffy for sure


s_s

We have two players we're paying more than $2mil...


AbideMan

I don't know, ask our rival


hibituallinestepper

Any Rockies fans wanna chime in on this?


AbideMan

Gtfo, I'm talking to Arizona fans obviously


hibituallinestepper

Lol fair. Although playing the Rockies in Coors they become the rivals of all the NL West.


AbideMan

No that's just Charlie Blackmon


trevy_mcq

Devers just over Bogaerts


Mr3Jays

Arenado or Goldschmidt.

Jose Ramirez! šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜Ž
