not sure if you'll be able to se him, but can you give me a valid reason for the difference between last season's stats and this season? He may have overperformed a bit last season, but what he's doing this season is ridiculous.

Here are his main stats:
last season: 661 ABs, .324/.386/.557 38 HRs and 100 RBIs
this season so far: 341 ABs .223/.283/.343 10 HRs and 37 RBIs

Same hitting coach, same stadium.

Should wylie have traded him while he had the chance?

Normalization. I'd expect him to have an OPS between .750 and .800. Both seasons look flukey to me.

Most owners would look at ratings and not one season of stats. He wouldn't have gotten a whole lot for a .750ish OPS 1B.

should hockey keep his hockey loving Canadian nose out of other people's business? Also, last season was his first ML season.

Each time a player goes to arbitration, I'd see " Arbitration Signing" in transaction notes, correct? So if I see two of them, then going into his last arbitration year is when I should extend him if I want right? Between Arb 2 and Arb 3?

It's a public message board. Even filthy Canucks can post on it. Seems like WifS should do something about that.

Correct on all counts.

Should we expect a slew of new retirements as players come to the realization that life as a former Jet is far better than life as a current Jet?

One would think so.
