@weekendsofsound Not a huge Javier Vazquez fan, he was an epic bust in NY, but isn’t it wild that he never even made it on the Hall ballot. These numbers deserve an arbitrary debut at least, right?

@weekendsofsound Doesn’t look like Greinke will eke it out to 3000 Ks huh. He only needs 21.

@weekendsofsound How we feel about Dave Parker and Dick Allen getting elected? Or has indifference taken hold living in a post-Baines world?

@weekendsofsound Decided to dig this one back up. My hot take: Ichiro is overrated.

@weekendsofsound How did Fred Lynn not win MVP in 1979? How did he finish FOURTH? Is there something I’m missing? Please advise.

@weekendsofsound How are we feeling about Votto for the Hall? And for that matter, Goldschmidt?

@weekendsofsound Have you ever done a side-by-side career comp of Pedro Martinez and Clayton Kershaw? Bc I just did and man those two are close.

@weekendsofsound Who had the better career - Andruw Jones or Torii Hunter? I had a knee-jerk answer, but then I dug into it a bit & now I’m not so sure.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the Yankees were actually a (much) better team with Hicks and Gallo in the outfield and Sanchez behind the plate.

Initial OPPENHEIMER thoughts: We have officially crossed the rubicon. Matt Damon and Jesse Plemons have become one.
Secondary OPPENHEIMER thoughts: What if Christopher Nolan’s next movie was about officially crossing the Damon / Plemons rubicon? That sounds good.

@weekendsofsound I sometimes hear Mark Grace’s name tossed around as an underrated 90s 1st baseman whose numbers deserve another look. This usually prompts me to champion John Olerud instead. Finally compared their stats and uh wow. Olerud still gets the edge IMO but it’s close!
