An interesting set of discussions in the nominations thread. Some candidates I had completely forgotten about, and others worthy of consideration. However, after tossing and turning all night, I have decided not to include Eugenio Suarez’s fourth home-run on the ballot: I strongly suspect that’s going to get its moment in the sun later this […]

Inspiration. Last Season, Eugenio Suarez hit 49 homers, divided between two teams. This season, he will not be a Diamondback. How are the Diamondbacks going to compensate for the loss? Let’s assume that Suarez will regress to only 10% more than his 2024 total of 30 homers (2026 projected 33 homers). Currently, Blaze Alexander is […]

October results Well, all streaks must come to an end – even Cal Ripken’s iron man run of consecutive appearances. And the same goes for me remembering to post the confidence poll.

To be clear, this is something of a devil’s advocate piece. I think it’s quite likely the team will bring Merrill Kelly back, and it’s not a scenario to which I would completely, or even particularly, be opposed. The team desperately needs starting pitchers.
