There's a bigger difference between 50 home runs and 70 home runs than you think, not only in skill but it's so much more intimidating.
This doesn't account for so much in terms of player specifics. What if the .400 hitter is someone with decent, but not exceptional speed, no power, and plays...
If you're hitting 70 home runs, there is a good chance you're average will be over .300, and with all the walks you're OBP will likely be quite high as well. Look at the year Barry hit 70, he was on base over 50% of the time.
Ronaldinho would be huge for the MLS. He's nowhere near the level that he used to be at, but I don't think it would matter; whatever team that managed to sign him would be an instant draw. Having the former best player in the world in the MLS would be huge, especially someone like Ronaldinho who...
It hurts to say it, but I liked the addition of Alonso and Maxwell to the Dolphins. Both should help that defense this year, I think they will have an outside shot at a wildcard spot if they can put together a running game.

Where's the Jays pitching?
Stroman- Small sample, yes, but he clearly has ace potential. He came back from a torn ACL in an incredibly fast time, out-pitched anyone on the Blue Jays (David Price included) with an ERA under 2.00 in 4 starts. He went on to be the Blue Jays best pitcher in the...
Too bad because I just added Smith on my fantasy team, hopefully he gets better quickly. I've never heard of someone getting hurt taking their shoe off, very unlucky for Smith.
I feel bad for guys like McDavid, Eberle and Nuge; they've never known anything other than losing. Crazy how they still haven't been able to turn it around.
Is anyone else as frustrated as I am that the Oilers are poised to have the best chance at the first overall pick yet again? How long before this team turns it around?
They've been destroying the league, but it seems like nobody is noticing. How deep will Ovechkin, Backstrom, Kuznetsov and co. make it in this years playoffs, the part of the season that has always been the Caps' weak point?
