*NLWC

I give you only partial credit, because your assumption was that he would actually play in the playoffs.

Without him, I don't think they advance past the NLWC. That said, if they do, then your prophecy is back on the table!

The email and written notification should both include a copy of the quote. It's about to get weird for someone. Might as well make it not you.

Absolutely. If the guy that signed me to that two year deal is the one talking shit on me, I'm absolutely taking his money just to piss him off. Between this guy and the Bruins, these owners/GM's are certainly putting themselves in some interesting positions

Sucks for Montgomery though. You’re in rough spot having to decide if you just go all out for the money because you’re probably not seeing a payout like that elsewhere if you decline the option. But on the other hand if you accept it you’re in a place where you’re clearly not wanted.

Only time I saw Pete Rose in live action.

Just read this article by max molski. By compiling this list and publicly sharing it with the world, I have moved Max to the top of my least informed baseball writers list. Mike Trout 20th best hitter in mlb history? No Tony Gwynn? Barry bonds #2? Pete Rose 16th? This guy should be forced to state clearly somewhere in the article that this is not an official ranking and that it’s just his stupid opinion.

Where do Mays, Bonds rank among best hitters in MLB history?

Albert Pujols is trying to keep his career going with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but where does he rank among MLB’s best hitters of all time?

Barry Bonds is #1, but other than that it depends on your definition of hitter

I personally am a believer that slugging makes you a more effective and therefore better hitter than someone who only hits singles, like Gwynn.

Would you rather have the guy with 40 homers who hits .330 or the guy with 1 homer that hits .380? I sure am picking picking door #1

Hank Aaron and Ted Williams are the two greatest hitters of all time in my opinion. For me it’s eye and contact. OBP and strikeouts. how players approach hitting continuously evolves but the ability to put the ball in play will always get good results. .380, .330? You were a fan before advanced stats changed the game, .330 leads the league in average these days. The amount of players who are hitting below the Mendoza line yet are productive hitters amazes me.
