Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable year; now it’s back to reality. As you return to your usual routines and begin the countdown to Opening Day, rest assured that all of us at FanGraphs are here to bring you the same entertaining and informative baseball coverage you’ve come to expect.

Speaking of the upcoming season, there are still plenty of star free agents still unsigned, including four of the top five and six of the top 10 on Ben Clemens’ Top 50 rankings, so it will undoubtedly be an eventful two-month lead-up to spring training.

In this week’s mailbag, we answer your questions about the most WAR pitchers who never made an All-Star team, why the Hall of Fame matters, the Marlins, and Rickey Hendersonthe 1982 season. But before we do, let me remind you that this mailbag is exclusive to FanGraphs members. If you are not yet a member and would like to read more, you can sign up for a membership here.
