Too much (clap clap) time on my hands...
From the SportsLogos.net:
I had absolutely no idea.
I've spent a bunch of time running different sets of numbers through Baseball-Reference's new PI feature. I could probably sit around and do this all day if someone would pay me.
For instance, since Will Clark left a Giants first baseman has hit 15 home runs in a season exactly five times. Four we're J.T. Snow. The other? Mark Carreon.
The Giants also haven't had two pitchers 25 or younger win 10 games in a season since 1983. That was the second straight year Atlee Hammaker and Bill Laskey accomplished the feat. The team has had at least one player do it for three straight seasons, though (Cain, Lowry and our old friend Jerome Williams).
There hasn't been a pair of under-25ers each have an ERA+ of 100 since 1974 with Mike Caldwell and John D'Acquisto.
With Cain still only 22 in baseball years and Sanchez and Lincecum near the majors I'm hoping these random facts will change real quickly. No team since the 2001 Oakland A's (Seriously, do I have to put their names here?) has had three starters under 25 with ERA+'s of 100.
Of the last 10 teams to pull it off, six won their division, two finished second and only one finished lower than third. That would be the 1984 Los Angeles Dodgers (Yeah! Take that burn 22-year old enemy team!).
Otherwise I'm sitting around for the new version of OOTP to be released and the new episode of The Office to come out.
