| 12/24/24 | Albert Pujols Offers Kind Words For Seattle Mariners Great Felix Hernandez. When the Baseball Hall of Fame class of 2025 gets inducted on July 27, 2025, the best hitter in Seattle Mariners history, Ichiro Suzuki, will all but certainly be included. The questions are whether or not Suzuki will be a unanimous selection in his first year of eligibility, and whether or not one of his former Seattle teammates will be joining him in Cooperstown. Felix Hernandez, the longest-tenured pitcher in Mariners history, is also in his first year of eligibility for the Hall of Fame. Hernandez is responsible for the only perfect game in franchise history, which he threw on Aug. 15, 2012, against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

| 8/18/24 | Resurgent San Diego Padres Led By Rookie Phenom Jackson Merrill. San Diego Padres' GM A.J. Preller has had at least nine lives during his tenure with the club. My minor league statistical evaluation methods had pegged him as a prospect for sure, but with #108 and #107 overall position player ranks in 2022 and 2023, he appeared to be far from a sure thing. Albert Pujols and Jim Thome were shortstops when they were drafted, believe it or not. Look at the Padre lineup - all seven of their primary field players, Jake Cronenworth, Xander Bogaerts, Ha-Seong Kim, Manny Machado, Jurickson Profar, Merrill and Fernando Tatis Jr. - have played shortstop at the major league level, and all but Cronenworth have been regulars there at one time or another.
