Now, one or two over that stretch? Sure.

But something is rotten in Denmark, methinks, to have so many guys making such big leaps and some of them are having multiple MLB-season careers in this timeline.

I agree that is too many however sample size requirements of large numbers apply to both the total sample size and the number of events being tracked. Five doesn't qualify as a large number.

THIS must be a great idea. My consistent detractors didn't show up en masse to argue against it. They didn't show up HERE either.
