I don't know if anyone's mentioned him, but how about Eric Davis? Was supposed to be the next Willie Mays.

Also, are you planning on including any of the Negro Leaguers who never got a shot? Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell, Satchel Paige, etc.

ctorg · 05-17-2005, 07:40 AM

Jim Morris... The guy on whom the movie The Rookie is based.

Outstanding idea with the Negro League players.

Josh Hamilton would be a good pick, too.

I think i will use some Negro League players, that is a great idea.
I added Rusty Greer this morning, I used to love watching him play. All out every play.

BoilerRocketScientist · 05-17-2005, 10:31 AM

Add Bill Buckner - multiple ankle injuries robbed him of a lot of speed.

Melo · 05-17-2005, 11:30 AM

Hensley Bam Bam Meulens

I don't know. I think he just stopped being good. Maybe an injury?

Chappy · 05-17-2005, 01:58 PM

Joey Meyer was always one of my favorites.

ctorg · 05-17-2005, 02:04 PM

Whatever happened to that guy Joey Belle?

jeheinz72 · 05-17-2005, 02:20 PM

anyone mention Albert Belle?

Dagrims · 05-17-2005, 03:53 PM

One additional: Steve Kemp

Aordolin · 05-17-2005, 04:38 PM

Glenn Davis, brings back memories.. I still consider him my favorite player ever. He and Will Clark were the best 1B in the NL in the late 80s. I cant remember exactly what happened to him when he got traded to Baltimore, I think it was a back injury or shoulder that he never recovered from. His numbers would have been so much better if he hadnt played in the Astrodome.

Staying on the Astros theme since I know them best, a few more coulda beens. Didnt see them listed

Gerald Young..think he was 2nd in ROY voting in 1987 and got worse every year after.

Eric Anthony.. This guy hit the longest homerun I have ever seen in my life. To really appreciate it you had to have gone to the Dome when it was still open and see the mark on the seat. Very Impressive.

Bit harsh, Buckner had a pretty good career you cant call him a bust, 2700+ hits, .289 career hitter. He was also a good fielder over his career. Maybe now that the curse is broke the poor guy can rest in peace.

How about
Jason Giambi,Barry Bonds,and Mark McGwire without steroids?
