See, now this is where I'm going to expect the yelling to start. Because y'all are smart and can put two and two together from here. A.J. Andrews is in the homestretch of her countdown ahead of New Year's Day, and her number two selection should really get the people talking. Because that means someone else is at number one and given the criteria of this list, it may not make as much sense. Still, Hyun-Jin Ryu takes down this slot, and A.J. explains how the lefty needed to come out with a strong season to justify the contract signed, and how in backing up that investment, Ryu set the tone for this offseason's spending. She then looks ahead at what Ryu needs to do next year to continue this success. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!
