The fact that Félix Hernández, Andy Pettitte and even Cole Hamels could all be Hall-of-Famers at some point is proof that the standards for pitchers in Cooperstown are (understandably) changing.

The Days of the 300-Win Hall of Famer Are Gone Forever
Shorter starts, fewer victories, and higher earned run averages mean that voters are reconsidering what it takes for pitchers to get into Cooperstown.

Beavers O'Neill was a fur trapper from the 18th century who settled somewhere along the Oregon coast. A monument in his name can still be found near Depot Bay.
Here's an early look at the ZiPS x @fangraphs.com depth chart for the next team in the ZiPS rundowns, the Baltimore Orioles.

In 2025, our girls decided they really liked eggs for breakfast. I, on the other hand, really don’t like eggs at all. But eggs are nutritious and easy to cook in the morning, so my greatest accomplishment last year was learning how to make eggs four ways.

Is that Félix chart totally wild? Yes it is. The best comps I can think of are Larry Walker's 2018 to 2019 (25.7% increase through 70 ballots) and Scott Rolen's 2019 to 2020 (24.3% increase through 70 ballots).
Félix is 37.2% above where he was through 70 ballots last year.

Adrian Houser added two ticks of velocity to his entire repertoire this year. That's good! The Giants signed him to a two-year deal this week. That's also good!

A LH relief pitcher was one of the M's biggest needs this offseason, and Harry Ford didn't really have a place on the roster with Cal Raleigh installed for years to come, but this really feels like selling low on Ford's value. (And suddenly the M's need a backup catcher too.)

Yep this checks out — my Apple Music account isn’t really my own. I’m just glad we’ve branched out from Frozen this year. The real shocker is Howard Shore sneaking in in June. Must have listened to the LotR soundtracks a ton that month. 🤷♂️
