Cody Bellinger is more than just another LAD ROY
As expected Cody Bellinger unanimously won the National League Rookie of the Year award for 2017. Like Corey Seager he is more than that, he should be a top ten MVP candidate going forward. Given their ages, it can be expected that improvement will follow and that by the time they have played five seasons …
Sophomore slamming
The two best players on the Los Angeles Dodgers are a 21-year-old 1st baseman and a 23-year-old shortstop. They will both be ROY winners, and they both will be leaned on very heavily to help the Dodgers move through October. It seemed that Corey Seager had a very quiet sophomore season, but once the 162 …
Seager and bWAR at age 23
Nineteen shortstops have accumulated at least 10 bWAR by the age of 23. Eight of them went on to become HOF. Carlos Correa, Corey Seager, and Francisco Lindor are all 23 right now and each are playing in their 3rd year. Elvis Andrus and Jose Reyes are the other two active shortstops on the list. …
Seager’s 4 strikeouts joins not so select company
Most of the time when we have written of the exploits of Cory Seager they have always been in a positive matter. Today we will try something different and hope this does not become a trend. Last night Seager struck out four times, and it was not the first time he has done this. He …
Dodgers renew Seager
According to Jon Heyman the LAD renewed their superstar shorstop for $575,000. They had an opportunity to reward Seager with the largest second-year renewal in baseball but decided to give Seager a modest raise. For some context, the Cubs gave Kris Bryant $625,000 after his 2015 season. Byrant had a great rookie season but he wasn’t a …

They tied with 11 2nd place votes, and ten 3rd place votes. Justin Turner got some recognition for his outstanding season by getting at …

As postseason games go, this game had soul
I’ve been reviewing postseason box scores looking for historical games to write about, and I’ll have to admit if I saw this box score twenty years from now, it would not strike me as a particularly interesting game. That is the problem with box scores of games you never saw, they don’t really tell the …
Corey Seager is no top five MVP candidate
A few weeks ago I was wondering if Corey Seager could pull off a Fred Lynn and win not only the Rookie of the Year but also the MVP. He had a compelling case at the time but I don’t think many were taking the idea seriously, at best he was considered a top-five candidate. …
