MVPQ – none, Best Season 1984 (13.4)

188. Roy Halladay RHP 114.1
1998 – Blue Jays
ERA+ 136
MVPQ – none, Best season 2010 (Phillies, 15.5)
-Halladay turns 34 in 2011, his 14th year in MLB. It's a safe bet that he cracks the top 150 by the end of the season, were you betting, he probably cracks the top 140. Were he to match his 2010, unlikely, as it was his best ever season, but were he to match his 2010, he'd be #122 overall at the end of 2011.
187. Tony Mullane RHP 114.2
1881-94 Reds
ERA+ 118
MVPQ – 1884 (18.9, Toledo Blue Stockings)
-I have eaten Tony Paco's Famous Hungarian Hot Dogs, as per the recommendation of Toledo's own Max Klinger, mother dying, father pregnant.

1932-48 Cardinals
.316/.359/.559
OPS+ 134
MVPQ - 1937 (17.2)
Medwick's translated .559 SLG is the highest so far on the list; it's about to get equaled (and by an active player, meaning that there's nowhere for it to go but down, so Ducky's going to take him out too; no one will pass that SLG until the guy at #172.

.280/.360/.480
MVPQ – 2006 (17.5)
-Beltran and Halladay are the same age, but it would appear far apart in their remaining value. After two down years due to injury and now turning 34, hard to project how much Beltran has left.
183. Bret Saberhagen RHP 114.8
1984-01 Royals/Mets/Red Sox
ERA+ 126
MVPQ – 1989 (18)
Sabes has a better ERA+ than any arm on the list thusfar besides Halladay.

1996- Expos/Angels
OPS+ 146
.316/.381/.559
MVPQ – none (Best season 2004 17.4)
-Big section for active players; Vlad turns 36 in 2011 and obviously he should never put on a glove again. There's probably room for his bat on an AL roster for the next couple of seasons.

181. Enos Slaughter RF 115
1938-59 Cardinals
.301/.379/.493
OPS+ 124
MVPQ 1942 (16.8)
-I'm not of the mind that time lost because of military service is somehow worthy of more historic credit than time lost due to injury; but not only did Slaughter lose 3 years - Slaughter lost his prime; his MVPQ season was when he was 26 - he didn't play again until he was 30.
20 down. 180 left. See you in a week.
