Fun little episode!
Comments:
- "Train A Rolling" came from a conversation in the 2020 or 2021 season, as I recall. :)
- There are relatively few statistically great RHB because the platoon advantage is strongly biased to the LHB. As it is in real baseball.
- To not have Benton Hawkins somewhere on your RR or Raul Cruz on your Reliever ballot is amazing. :) (Cruz's performance was a league record, yet at least four guys apparently left him completely off the ballot).
- Arai was the best center fielder in baseball by a very wide margin.
- Thanks for the comments. Hard to believe a GM that washed out in the first round of the playoffs is GM of the year, but I'll take it.
- We'll do some thinking about Iron Fist. Not sure how many CP we have.

Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but Provost's nickname came about towards the end of the '22 season, when the Lupin GM made a reference to the Aurora/Provost 'train arollin' - it was a winter meeting addition.
