Agree. Cabrera ranks 51st among the  career leaders for OPS+.

His hanging on phase is killing his career averages.

First thing I did when seeing the post was to bring up his and Manny Ramirez's stats.

I think Manny had him as well, and both 19 years in.

See, I knew I would forget someone real good just trying to do it off the top of my head.

I thought it was a good list.  For some reason I link those two in my mind.

Yeah definitely. I know just looking at OPS+ isn’t a perfect measure, but I think it’s enough to tell Cabrera isn’t a top 20 hitter.

Has Schoop even be back to Baltimore since he was traded?

Mountcastle showing some strength on that opposite field homer.  Hands pulled way in but he was still able to muscle it out to right

2019 when Schoop was with the Twins he played a series in Baltimore during April.

I agree that the latter few years of Cabrera's are hurting his legacy.  Those years from 2005 through 2014 were quite dominant, though.  Home run totals ranged from a low of 26 to a high of 52 and an average of 41.2.  He also averaged 119.5 and the batting average ranged from .292 to .348 with an average of those years well over .300.  He also had a Triple Crown in that span.  He was as dominant as anyone in those years.

He played for Minnesota in 2019 so he must have.

...consulting bbref...

Yep, April 18 and then a doubleheader on April 20.   In the 2nd game of the DH the Twins won 16-7 and Schoop hit 2 HRs.

The Twins hit 8 in that game!  2 each by Cruz, Schoop, and Garver.  Schoop's 2 HRs came off Mike Wright and Chris Davis!

Oh, yeah. Forgot about him being on the Twins.

Here is a trivia question for you: tonight's Yankee outfield of Gallo/Judge/Stanton is the 3rd starting outfield ever where all 3 guys have previously had a 40+ HR season.  What are the other 2?

Harvey on a heater.  Made the screen in my “last 30 day” search for SP fantasy.  Fun night for AL only fantasy waiver wire.
