Describe a player and guess who it is thread

Freddy Freeman

 

[Omar 382]

No to all

 

[Cedrique]

Ben Zobrist

 

[Cedrique]

Brett Gardner

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Brandon Phillips?

 

[Omar 382]

No. He is an outfielder who's been on teams that overshadow him

 

[Cedrique]

John Mayberry Jr ?

 

[Cedrique]

Hunter Pence?

 

[Omar 382]

No to both

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Kemp? Ethier?

 

[Omar 382]

Andre Ethier is correct!

 

[Omar 382]

• Spent his entire 14 year career with one team
• Became a team's full-time first baseman after they traded away Steve Balboni
• Won the batting title in 1984 with a .343 batting average
• In 1985 he drove in the most batters as a left-handed hitter since Ted Williams
• His 21 RBI-lead was the most in the American League since Al Rosen
• In 1986 he broke his team's records for hits and doubles in a season
• Would be a HOFer if he just pieced together three or four 3 win seasons at the end of his career

Murray?

 

[Omar 382]

Nope. I think Murray played for the Angels at the end of his career anyway

 

[Cedrique]

Mike Sweeney? Also I think he was on the Phillies for the last 2 weeks of his career or something.

Mike Sweeney? Also I think he was on the Phillies for the last 2 weeks of his career or something.

No but good guess. Without looking at the stats, I think most people would agree my player is better than Sweeney

 

[Cedrique]

Ohhhh Mattingly

 

[Cedrique]

I think Balboni was on the Royals at some point so that took me to Sweeney.

 

[Cedrique]

But Sweeney was an RBI machine for a while too.

 

[Omar 382]

Ohhhh Mattingly

Coorect! Mattingly
