Get ready for an exciting baseball season, folks! In a mere month, pitchers and catchers will be gearing up for spring training, and the beautiful rhythm of the game will return. As we eagerly await the start of the season, let's dive into some hot topics and exclusive content for our dedicated baseball enthusiasts.
First off, there are some big names still on the free agent market. Four of the top five and six of the top 10 players on Ben Clemens' Top 50 Free Agents list are yet to sign, including former Astros teammates Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, and Framber Valdez. It's a fascinating situation, and we can't wait to see where these stars end up.
But here's where it gets controversial... we're also discussing the best pitchers who never received a Hall of Fame vote. It's a unique perspective on baseball history, and we invite you to join the conversation. Additionally, we have insights from Michael Baumann on Chandler Simpson, Davy Andrews on the skill of inducing popups, and Dan Szymborski on the variance in ZiPS projections.
