Problem is that he was essentially toast after his third year, at 24, except for a couple decent fluky dead cat bounce years, one with the Mets and one with the Royals.
That's kind of my point, he fell and fell hard really early. So the guys that did that, you don't think of a superstars, but for a year or two, they may have been. OOTP actually gets that right.
