I found this guy on the trading block in my league. The very short version of a very long story: Stud in the Academy (my version of the feeder leagues), drafted #3 overall, zipped through the minors, steadily improved through '31 (MVP candidate that year), tore up his knee in spring training '32, came back too soon and PERMANENTLY lost 100 points of BA and half his triples and homers, played out his big contract and wandered around the league for teams hoping he'd get it back. He never could, consistently.

No great insight here; just something I wanted to share. I'm running an expansion team and he'd actually be one of our better players. Salary's not too bad. Should I go for it?
