2016 was such a wild baseball season, I definitely won't forget it.

The Cubs were an inspired team reigned in well by their manager. The Nationals had similar potential but just incompetent leadership all around.

The AL East was so exciting– four teams (including my favorite, the Yankees) looked like they had a legitimate shot to win the division. We had a crazy stretch where we won like 8 out of 10 in early September that put us a game out of the Wild Card, propelled largely on the offensive side by Gary Sanchez, who had a power surge for the ages. I believe he is the quickest player to 20 career HR in Yankees history. Besides the Buck Showalter fiasco in the AL Wild Card Game, this year largely saw the closer's value increase dramatically (as evidenced by the huge contracts Aroldis Chapman and Mark Melancon have signed this offseason). We had Todd Frazier and Brian Dozier emerge as forces, becoming useful trade chips for their respective rebuilding teams. The NL West saw the breakouts of two potentially game-changing shortstops: Trevor Story and Corey Seager. We had the stunning death of young Jose Fernandez, one of the most humble and talented people to ever play the game. And, of course, Vin Scully called his final game. What a year.

DJ LeMahieu hit .348.

I still can't believe that, but his BABIP was 36 points above his career average, so it should come down a bit next year.

Altuve is a stud.

Why the Freddie Freeman snub? He had 0.8 more WAR than Rizzo. Btw, Joey Votto's OBP is still ridiculous, but he didn't lead the league in walks

I feel like Brach is this year's Justin Wilson– a reliever who breaks out with a fantastic season then regresses to a solid (but not great) level the next. Dellin Betances would have much better numbers (and would probably make your team) if he wasn't so overworked because of the Yankees' weak starting pitching.

We have so many good 3Bs now. 6 (!) of them finished with 6.5 WAR or more: the ones above, plus Beltre, Donaldson, Machado, and Kyle Seager. Bryant is still striking out too much.

I hate that J.A. Happ suddenly got good. He seems like a poor sportsman based on his handling of one of the brawls the Jays had with us this year.

Also, Adam Eaton deserves some more recognition for his All-Star season.
