Finally, I wrote about lineup strength and what helps lineups produce runs (and is it ok to have holes).

What Causes a Home Run Problem? | Pitcher List

Took a look at Juan Soto's approach and contrasted it with Lars Nootbaar and Wyatt Langford. It's not easy to be the best.

If we could see ANY signs of life from Arenado about getting back to pull power and health, I think we could be in for a good season that maybe ends in a trade. He still has 25 HR potential and we'll see what Brant Brown has in store for the veteran

Projections systems are all over the place for Arenado in 2025 and rightfully so, we have no idea what were getting regardless of trade status.
A 107 almost assuredly gets him traded and an 89 potentially sees him losing his starting role.
