DirtyDez Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Btw how they averaged only 3 runs vs that Angels goon squad is unexplainable. Â No offense @TLO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his two years with the Mariners he hit 54+ HR's, out SLUG'd Arod and Buhner in '97, 4th best OPS on the team that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020  The 1997 Mariners had a great one, that really sticks out to me from my early years.  I think a lot of people sleep on the 2015 Blue Jays. 117 wRC for the team, and Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and Josh Donaldson were a murderous trio that year, with 120 HR between the three of them, nearly .400 wOBA from each as well as 148-156 wRC for each individually. They also got very good season at the plate from Russell Martin behind the plate and they had great years from some of their reserves.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I don't think 2009 Phillies are amongst most of the teams listed here, but it wasn't too shabby. 1. Jimmy Rollins 2. Shane Victorino 3. Chase Utley 4. Ryan Howard (before he became useless) 5. Raul Ibanez 6. Jayson Werth 7. Pedro Feliz 8. Carlos Ruiz Of course, in the NL the pitcher has to bat, so that probably won't help statistically. 3-6 all hit 30+ home runs that season. Rollins and Ryan Howard were both MVPs in the past 3 seasons and Utley is probably a hall of famer some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
