I'd put Ripken/Kingman and Canseco/McGwire into two different categories. I'm using the Spritze database so players will import when they were 18, not when they made their debut. It's still early for Canseco and McGwire though, and I'm not seeing any warning signs yet, so I think they'll be ok and are just developing.

Both Dave Kingman and Cal Ripken really never developed unfortunately. It's not just home runs, they just all around aren't very good.
