Sort of the Gene Woodling of our time. Never a superstar, but a valuable money player in post season.

Only ten have done it five straight times, and the list was formidable. If he gets another one next year, only ten have accomplished that feat ever, and only about 5 to do six straight.
I think we missed out.
ya think?

All those hits (110), HR (23), and rbi's (57) just would not be a good fit for Marmot ball. He would clutter up the batting order with production. Nor would the Marmot know what to do with such talent.

And the year before, 2020, he broke playoff records.
6 years of good-to-great baseball.
What an odd trade…
Indeed.
Terrible mistake.
I was the only person on the planet to oppose the trade at the time and who predicted his immediate breakout stardom.
Stunning that Super Slo Mo could not see what he had.
No you did not predict that.
You predicted that Pujols and Yadi would never amount to nothing.
You predicted that both Ryan Vilade and Garret Hampson would be future hall of famers.

Petty jealously is not a good look.
This thread is not about my perfect analysis of Arozarena in September of 2019.
It is about Mo being blinded by his love affair with clearly inferior players - and the success Arozarena enjoyed elsewhere.

You make a very clever and correct point.
Had The Marmot been managing Arozarena is is very likely Randy would not have had the career he has produced elsewhere.
Nearly certain that being traded was the absolute best thing for him.
