I mean, Luke Voit has 95 MLB homers and 6 seasons with an OPS+ well over 100. He lead the league in homers in the covid year!

Baker is likely more John Gall than Luke Voit.

If Baker can post a few seasons of .850-.900 OPS like Voit did, I will be giddy. Surprised, but giddy.

John Gall's name should always be prefaced with 'Future Hall of Famer.'

The Nationals broadcasters said during Monday’s spring training game that Paul DeJong will “be the primary third baseman this season.”
Many initially thought that DeJong was signed to back multiple infield positions and that José Tena would enter the season as the primary third baseman after a solid 2024 season, but perhaps that’s not the case. The team itself has not made this announcement publicly, so it may still be a competition, but fantasy managers should be open to the idea that this could be DeJong’s job if he has a good spring.

Matz threw 2 scoreless
Steven Matz kept the Mets hitless for two innings in his start Monday.
Matz didn’t get any strikeouts. In fact, he generated just one missed swing on his 26 pitches. He’s expected to occupy a spot in the Cardinals’ rotation, but no one is expecting all that much from him as he finishes up his four-year, $44 million deal.
