I have tickets to the game tomorrow at Wrigley, and I have thought about wearing my Schwarbs Cubs jersey and not my World Series gold trimmed Arietta jersey.  Of all the players from that 2016 to let go or trade, Rizzo and Schwarbs were the 2 I wanted to see stay.

Kyle's last two year avg-- 47HR 118RBI .244/.365/.525

He sits on 340 career bombs as of now... he turned 33 at the beginning of March. 

 

The only thing stopping him from 500 career is health... he only played 8 games defensively last season and that could significantly impact his ability later on to keep the bat in tact. 

 

 

Using "heavy DHers" of the past... 

Edgar Martinez played 8 full seasons after the age of 32 and hit 218 HR during that time.

David Ortiz-- 7.5 season after the age of 32-- 252 HR during that time...

Frank Thomas played 5 seasons worth after the age of 32-- 177HRs

Nelson Cruz 9 Full seasons- 307 HR

Edwin Encarnación 4.5 Seasons- 156 HR

 

 

Let's take the average of those 5 guys.... that's 6.8 more full seasons--- and at Kyle's current HR rate-- He can EASILY hit 200 HR, that's not even close to a stretch. Personally, I think we could see him hit 550. We are taking HOF at 500+

And the Cubs just let him walk.  SMH

Kyle could very easily move into the Top 75 all time in HR this year, as well. Cool stuff
