His bat took a shit this year outside of his walk rate, but his defense is as strong as ever and he has shown signs that he can recover the hitting going forward. Don’t forget Russell Martin.

It would essentially lead to the same conclusion, but would have a more reliable relationship to causation. Maybe a better way to approach this would be “How old are the stars?”

The "how are you feeling" story from a spring training a few years back also is a classic. At least the Twins mauled another team when they traded him away a few years back! “and his reputation is that of a jackass”

hahahahaha

For instance, Posada was developed by the Yankees but they also signed him long term after he could have left as a Free Agent. It could be useful to know if these stars are all in their pre-FA years, signed by their original teams to longterm extensions, or signed on the free agent market.
