    Should have been a household name in his youth with KC... but because of the market, and in the prime era where small markets were also-rans and doormats, while big markets thrived... he was largely unknown despite being a true 5-tool player at a very young age.

    BTW, I count 8 seasons with > than 100 RBI.

    if McCann struck out and Gonzalez hit into a double play it would've been zero runs. The reverse of that = 1 run. just sayin :)

    Remember when most 'experts' listed Buxton higher than Correa on every draft list and most minor league prospect lists?

    ah... thought he was referring to the guy in the picture (Beltran).

    Now see it was all about Beckely...

    Probably, but there's still a good shot at winning.

    Great offense, Great bully, and Fiers hasn't blown up.

    The good news for the Twins is Castro knows our team weaknesses.
    The bad news for the Twins is Castro was responsible much of our team weaknesses.

    Eight seasons with 100+ RBI's

    He was very good for a very long time.

    A true 5-tool player... 400 HRs / 300 SBs / 4 GGs.... and clutch.

    I agree he wasn't super special at any one facet.

    RBI are a team stat, not really good for evaluating player production.
