I was looking at the Milestone Tracker today at mlb.com, so I jotted down a few of the milestones that caught my eye:
Ivan Rodriguez: 2500 H
Carlos Delgado: 432 HR-passes Cal Ripkin for 37th all time. The entire summer he will be passing big names.
Carl Crawford: 1000 H
Chase Utely: 100 HR
David Wright: 100 HR
Ken Griffy: 600 HR
Manny Ramirez: 500 HR
Albert Pujols: 300 HR
There are a lot more milestones similar to these that will happen. There are plenty of other players reaching 100 HR or 1000 H, but I listed the ones that I thought are a big deal based on their age. The three big milestones will be Griffy, Manny, and Pujols.
Also last year I gave frequent updates where Reyes is on the ontime SB list. Right now, he is listed at 248 with 234 SB. He shares that spot with four other players including Sammy Sosa.
Regarding the Nick Swisher trade that happened earlier today, I agree with what mlbtraderumors.com had to say. It really shows that Beane is in a rebuilding mode. Between the Swisher and Haren trade, they have brought in 9 prospects. mlbtraderumors.com would not be surprised to see Blanton and Street be traded and at this point I wouldn't be surprised as well.
