With 2012 officially in the books, it’s time to look at the year’s top articles.
1. Melky Cabrera Tests Positive for Testosterone: What Does This Mean, and What Can We Learn?
In which I look at Melky Cabrera’s performance increase, and wonder if it might have been BABIP-driven.
2. Paul Konerko, 500 Home Runs, and the Hall of Fame
I feel like I wrote a lot about Konerko this year, and it was all negative. I don’t dislike him at all, if that’s how it came across. I just don’t think of him as a Hall of Famer, as some have started to claim.
3. How Big Should the Hall of Fame Be?
Very relevant now with Hall season upon us. Maybe you should revisit this one.
4. NL Central Predictions, or: How Not to Make Projections
As this list apparently shows, I really like subtitles.
5. Retired Numbers Series: Cincinnati Reds
Makes sense they top the Retired Number entries, seeing as they had a Hall inductee.
6. Who Are the Hall of Famers Playing Today? 2006, Part 2
Yep, a sequel appears on a year-end list, but not the original. I have accomplished what Hollywood can not.
7. Cape Cod League Profile: Craig Schlitter, RHP
The most read interview from my Cape Cod League series.
8. Cape Cod League Interview: Jared King, CF
Some Early Installment Weirdness there in the title. As an update, King ended up leaving the CCBL early due to injury.
9. Retired Numbers Series: Detroit Tigers
You know, one day, I will finish this series.
10. Retired Numbers Series: New York Yankees
Yep, the Yankees finished third among Retired Numbers Series. If the Mayan Apocalypse hadn’t already passed, I’d be adding this to the signs.
11. Another Year, Another Set of All-Star Roster Corrections
The yearly staple makes an appearance.
11. Opening Day in the Cape Cod League
Even more Early Installment Weirdness, this one includes an interview with pitcher Aaron Blair.
13. Cape Cod League Profile: Sean Manaea, LHP
Manaea is starting to look like a possible number one pick later this year.
As this list apparently shows, I really like subtitles.

Manaea is starting to look like a possible number one pick later this year.
13. Injuries and the End
A pure prose peace in which I reflect on long-time Cardinal rival Kerry Wood’s retirement. With Scott Rolen possibly retiring soon, this theme may be revisited here.
15. Retired Numbers Series: Colorado Rockies
Of the ten RNS pieces I did this year, this one is probably one of the more surprising one to end up in the most viewed list (ahead of large market teams like the Phillies, Mets, and Angels). The Rockies do have a dedicated fan base, though, it would appear.
Thanks for a great 2012, and here’s to an even greater 2013!
