“Hated by fans, average player.” Another one-side victory here, with only one player passing the two rec threshold (though Yoan Lopez is a worthy runner-up). The winner of square #8 is Trevor Bauer.
I still remember the hype over Bauer on his way up. Jack Sommers and I were among the fans in attendance for his MLB debut on June 28, 2012. We got there early to see his famed warm-up routine, which involved tosses from foul-pole to foul-pole and then sat in as he got the start in a 3-2 victory over the Braves.
