Interesting Read on Fangraphs

Player aging and offensive production curves.

Not too promising overall for some of our hopes. Of course some players buck the trend but seems like our dreams of Jason becoming a freak or Freddie becoming a monster may be dashed. WE may have seen the best or will be seeing the best soon out of those 2.

I think the recent results are skewed because overall offense has been declining. I don't think the study adjusts for league averages.
 
Wrc+ weighs league and park. Its not as extreme as the woba. But the points are interesting. Especially the point about the change in minor league conditioning and diet.
