Cecil Fielder hit 51 HRs in 1990 Prince Fielder hit 50 HRs in 2007 (17 years later) Sadly no Fielder hit 49 HRs in 2024 to continue this trend.

Most world series winners don't try and improve is how i'm reading this. Rangers added Seagers, Siemens, Gray, Eovaldi, Degrom with big contracts before winning it all and kinda just stopped pushing the needle.

I really hope Ichiro gets the unanimous ballot, CC and Wagner also seem like locks.

Corbin Carroll had an interesting power rise in the second half of 24. First half he hit 5 HRs in 353 ABs or 1 every 70.6 ABs Second half he hit 17 HRs in 236 ABs or 1 every 13.9 ABs Not a coincidence the diamondbacks went from a .505 win% in the first half to a .615 win% in the second.

Bailey Horn is an almost on the 100

Outside of prospects, Joe Kelly is my vote for triple digits pitcher in 2025 with the additional bonus of the dodgers wanting him in july.

In 2024 only one other Cardinals pitcher threw a legitimate 100 MPH pitch (no rounding up) according to fangraphs data. Chris Roycraft

Top pitchers since the wildcard era (94 season)(min 80IP) by FIP

This has me thinking. If baseball had it where runners ran clockwise would left handed throwers then become the norm for 3B, SS, 2B?

More than a decade ago the dodgers signed Erisbel Arruebarrena to a five–year contract worth a reported $25 million, with a $7.5 million signing bonus. They signed Kim to 3/12.5. This is a lotto ticket mostly.

Signing Christian Walker to a 3 year deal @ 20 aav feels weird when Goldschmidt could be had for less on a one year deal. Christian Walker last 3 seasons is a 120 OPS+ batter with little variance Goldschmidt is a 130 OPS batter the last 3 years, but with a lot of variance.

Today feels like a monday where Nolan Arenado is traded.

Random reminder Albert Pujols finished his career batting .320/.384/.702 with 20 HR over his last 203 PAs.

Kyle Tucker in his last 162 games played (since 06/23/23) .291/.396/.587, 170wRC+, 43 HR, 27 SB, 7.8 WAR

Look back at mlb's scouting to Arenado prior to 2012. "There was some concern about his defense" is just a funny statement knowing what he know now.

With all these deals going on surely Helsey or Arenado are the next dominoes to fall.

Sounds like cubs are getting Tucker without giving up any of their top 6 prospects. Smith, Paredes, and Wesneski are all good players though just surprised.1

Nestor Cortes just gives off "LHP who shuts down the cardinals" energy.

Thinking about the potential memes Castellanos could be making with ill-timed homers as an astro though.
