    Ah, yes, that's true, although 2010 has a few reasons to be lesser total quality when compared to 90s/2000s:

    1) Very little steroid boost
    2) 9 out of 10 potential years
    3) Last decade, so many of the BY players are still active (and don't have a complete career to go with those BY stats)

    It still looks good when compared to 1950 for example though.

      When they flesh out their careers in the 2020, the 2010s will start to look better.

        Hmm 3 posts in a row that all say the same thing, I think we are onto something.

          I won't be able to pick for a while, continue your DMBLing. Deciding who gets promotions here today and reviewing packets for same, and Ford and Cano were on my short list. I guess I can take one of my picks to look like I'm trying...
          In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

              I don't know if Ford and Cano are deserving of promotions.

                  Ford had a 16:1 strikeout to walk ratio last year, what's not to like?
