Kent Hrbek's first 10 years full-time (age 22-31) was right in line with Mattingly's early run. His basic stats with WAR from BBRef:

34.9 bWAR
.290 BA
.370 OBP
.862 OPS
242 HR
885 RBI
1407 G
5806 PA

And 2 World Series rings

Hrbek only played a couple more years. Have to look at the entire career.

IMHO, 2026 will be a season to sort out the roster. The young players will develop quicker if Buxton and the SP are still around. Especially important for the pitchers.

They can be moved at the trade deadline if it all goes south.

To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know:

Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore.

They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett.

Small world.

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.
