Just to make conversation, a casual friend here in New York asked me last week if my team would be buyers or sellers. At least I gave the right answer 😉
I’m old enough to remember Roy Smalley being an early proponent of bulking up for shortstops. It did make him a really good hitter, but, in the end, he suffered from back injuries (not saying those injuries were necessarily related).
I remember the 1974 Twins. They reached that record by being the worst team in the league through most of June, and being the best the rest of the way. No one noticed but Twins fans…
