The Swamp

Freddie Freeman

The ones who come to my mind are all too old (Posey, Panda, McCutcheon, Tulowitski). But, Giancarlo Stanton. (looked it up, he's the last on your table.)

eta: and Gunpowder beat me to that one.

37. _______ (1,461, age 29)
40. Elvis Andrus (1,448, age 28) TurdRyan
60. Starlin Castro (1,270, age 27) TurdRyan
65. Jose Altuve (1,241, age 27) AB
74. _______ (1,123, age 27)
82. Freddie Freeman (1,076, age 27) GPJ
T-87. Mike Trout (1,033, age 25) TurdRyan
T-87. _______ (1,033, age 27)
91. Paul Goldschmidt (1,006, age 29) TurdRyan
92. _______ (990, age 29)
96. Giancarlo Stanton (947, age 27) GPJ

Oh, Heyward

Seager? Mariners version

Just to make sure it's not some easy one, is McCutchen in his year 30 season?

Hosmer

Arenado

I forgot I was doing this. It worked out perfectly ...

92. Kyle Seager (990, age 29) GPJ
96. Giancarlo Stanton (947, age 27) GPJ

Looked it up. Was not going to guess that.

(Not that it's an obscure name - I'm assuming Mr. D is ok with that very slight mini hint).

Hosmer's only 27?

So, someone who started at like 21 with 150 hits a year? Adam Jones? Longoria?

Its a good one. This is worth the payoff.

justin upton?

TJU!!!

My problem was going by teams, I guess

Check out who'd be 7th on a similar list for strikeouts (pitching)

8's no slouch either.

Shit, let's play.

(I'm kinda busy but I'll fill in as I can)

Ryan's ineligible!

Super unpredictable career path from here. His top 10 comps through age 28 are all over the damn map ...

Would be star who never approached pre-28 peak:
1. Ruben Sierra
9. Eric Chavez
(These are out given Upton's line this season)

Up-and-down for a few more years but done before 35:
4. Greg Luzinski
5. Johnny Callison
8. Del Ennis
10. Boog Powell

Also done before 35, but maybe TJU is already historically better than we think?:
6. Ron Santo

Like a lot better?:
3. Adrian Beltre

A lot, lot better?:
7. Carl Yastrzemski

Too far:
2. Barry Bonds

Me too, I looked. I'd bang out 1-4 pretty easy and then maybe 2 more.

1. Ruben Sierra

Ah, yes. I had about 28 of his rookie Don Russ cards thinking I'd never have to work a day in my life when his career was over.

1. (age 29) 2,112 Ks

2. (28) 1,544

3. (27) 1,477

10. (29) 831

Jeff Locke

Juuussssssst missed

the strikezone, as usual

I was pretty damn close to going with BJ Upton. (He’s older, right?)

So for pitchers, I believe there is a guy called Kershaw who is under 30.

How bout sale? He's not old.

Archer?

Strasburg

And time to feel this out a little....Craig Kimbrel

Things got slowed down and I deleted my correct answers sheet. All but Kimbrel are correct.

Kimbrel is 29 but only has 738.

From Sporcle...Who is missing from this list of the top extra inning home run hitters of all time?

1. Willie Mays
2. ?????
3. Frank Robinson
4. Babe Ruth
5. Albert Pujols
6. Hank Aaron
7. Mickey Mantle
8. Mark McGwire
9. David Ortiz
10. Rafael Palmeiro
11. Jim Thome
12. Willie Stargell
13. Barry Bonds
14. Chipper Jones
15. Harmon Killebrew

As you can probably guess, you ain't getting this unless you know it. So here's a hint - he played from 1975 to 1992

Looked it up.

I would be shocked if anyone gets this.

Murph?




ETA:No... I forgot he played in '93 for the expansion Rox.

Ruben Sierra

18 year careers aren't normal but that's still not enough of a hint. And Ruben Sierra didn't debut in 1975, dude.

Dave Parker retired around then.

Ken Phelps maybe did too.

The other Mike Marshall probably did too too.

Gary Carter?

This is a lot of fun.
