Hammel will always have the 2016 Cubs reunions to come, he had a heck of a season for that club.

Allen Craig will join the Padres' front office as an advisor to baseball ops, thus ending his playing career. In 6 big league season, he batted .276/.333/.435. He won the '11 WS, was an All-Star in '13 and is the only player to score a WS game-winning run on an obstruction call.— AJ Cassavell (@AJCassavell) April 12, 2019

cody decker, 32, hitter of 204 minor league homers, after hitting a walk-off for triple-a reno on friday
he was 0-for-11 in 12 major league plate appearances
also one of 19 players from the 2009 class a fort wayne tincaps to reach the majors, which is maybe some kind of record

Curtis Granderson
(aka "Craig Gunderson" -- Lou Piniella, 2006)
― Andy K, Friday, 31 January 2020 15:14 (five years ago)
Granderson was really damned good. He came up around the same time as Grady Sizemore and everyone of course thought Grady was going to be a superstar for 15 more seasons, and Grandy was overlooked for a bit longer than he should have been. Even though despite Sizemore's first several incredible years, the best season either of them had was Granderson's 2007 (38 doubles, 23 triples, 23 HR, 122 runs scored, .913 ops, 7.6 bWAR). Decent positive value through his Mets years, solid defense, and apparently an extremely good dude.

he had a great run with the Cubs obv, though last season was a tough one for him w/whatever was going on at home. he was great in 2018, i imagine he still has some ability left in the tank but maybe not the desire.
― omar little, Wednesday, 12 February 2020 17:28 (five years ago)
i'd still rather have him at 2b in 2020 than daniel descalso or whoever the cubs are planning to play there now
