      • USA Today did an article today that says Ronald Acuna's season is the most valuable fantasy season of all-time. More valuable than any season by Rickey Henderson, Pedro Martinez, Barry Bonds or A-Rod. They say according to BaseballHQ, his season has been worth $60. I had the first pick in my NL League and I got chided for taking him over Trea Turner. He's been phenomenal. I wont win this league but I have a chance to finish 2nd, despite being lousy overall in the power categories.

          Razzball has Aaron Judge's 2022 as being worth $62.90 when using BA, followed by Cobb 1909 $59, Ruth 1921 $56, Wagner 1908 $55.60 and Gehrig 1931 $55.20.

            Razzball also has Acuna's 2023 as $69.60 though. So significantly more valuable than Judge's 2022.

              Fun to come back and see these sometimes. Harris hit .318/.348/.525 with 17 HR and 16 SB since this post.

                And tonite, Olson does indeed break this club record also w his 135th and 136th RBI. Also, now 54 HR.

                • Surprisingly, we do indeed have a 20-G winner in MLB. Spencer Strider recovered from a bad 1st inning to win his 20th tonite. Finishes w a 20-5 record, a 3.86 ERA and 281 Ks, which also leads MLB.

                    The Braves now have 305 home runs going into the final game of the season. They need three more to break the 2019 Twins record.

                    Matt Olson has played in all 161 games so far. And Acuna and Riley have played 158 games. Not sure if they play in today's meaningless game.

                          Braves hit 2 more HR today (both by Ozuna) to tie the team HR record for a season.

                          Ozuna has had a nice bounceback season after 2 straight mediocre to bad ones. Career hi in HR (40), .900+ OPS, 2nd best season of his career.

                          • Eddie Rosario came within inches of hitting the record-tying home run yesterday, which would have been a neat story, since he was also part of the 2019 Twins team.

                              Acuna's stats are fun.

                              Only 149? That's the fewest runs ever in a 40/70 season.

                                I would argue it's the most.
