In 9 years he’(poop) 88 non-Spring Homers.
In one playoff run for the Yankees, he hit 5 in 9 Games (2002). Including last year’s playoff appearance with Philadelphia, he has a playoff career total of 5 Homers in 6 separate ventures.
Bader is 32. In the late 90’s, this would mean he’s entering the peak of an eventual Hall of Fame career, because he was likely to triple that production. However, we’re in the 2020’s and typically players who had trouble staying on the field earlier in their careers (Two seasons above 140 games, peaking at 146 last year) aren’t likely to perform that feat in the twilight of their careers.
No problem with Bader, but we’d only have him on the team to trade him at the deadline for some nameless A-Ball pitcher

Actually, I was just joking, since his “impact” was on a food truck.
