World Baseball League Forum

With the 2012 regular season in the books, let's take a look back at some of the highlights from this past season.

* Albert Pujols became the highest paid player in MLB history when the Padres signed him to 7 year deal at $40.550 mil per season. He responded by posting his best season in the WBL and also leading the Padres to the 2nd best record in the league.

* The Jays came within 3 wins of breaking the record of 113 wins in a season. Great job Aaron!

* The Braves did break the record for most losses in a season with 110.

* Cleveland continues their consecutive division titles streak!

* Taylor Green (MIL) broke Joe Mauer's single season batting avg. record of .357 with his .359 avg.

* Green also broke the record for hits in a season with 226.

* Pedro Alvarez tied Ryan Braun's single season HR mark of 46.

* Sergio Santos (TOR) finished with 143 rbi which breaks Ryan Braun's record of 142.

* Continuing his record breaking season, Taylor Green bested Ryan Braun's single season VORP of 100.3 by posting a vorp of 108.3!

* CC Sabathia tied his single season record set back in 2009 with 23 wins.

* Aaron King (CHA) set a new record for BB with 125. That beat Jason Rice's 124 BB in 2010. Seeing as how they were both White Sox, should they consider a new pitching coach in the Windy City??

Will the trend continue?
Will we see more records fall in the post season?
Can the Mariners repeat under a brand new GM?

See those questions and many more answered starting this Thursday. Stay tuned!

good stuff Matt....my god Taylor Green was a beast this year.

Another good season under the belt, looking forward to many many more.
