Describe a player and guess who it is thread

[jvett77]

Holy shit. A wild guess too.

 

[Omar 382]

• He shares the honor of having the lowest batting average while qualifying for the batting title (both him and Uggla hit .179)
• Had at least 140 strikeouts in seven different seasons
• Teammates with Robin Yount, Lou Whitaker, and Tony Gwynn
• Hit over 200 home runs but only finished with a 14.3 WAR

Dave Kingman?

Dave Kingman?

No, but very similar player

 

[Omar 382]

Kingman was slightly better than my guy

 

[northeastphillyguy]

So he played for the Tigers, Brewers, and the Padres?

 

[Omar 382]

Yes

 

[Cedrique]

Gotta be Rob Deer

 

[Omar 382]

Correct!!!

 

[Cedrique]

Ok, here is another above average who flew under the proverbial radar

First baseman for 17 years, 70's and 80's
Amassed over 2100 hits, OPS just over .800
Had 5 year run where he received MVP votes every year
Career dWAR is around -10 but I thought he was better. He won 2 Gold Gloves.
Had over 30 HRs 2 times and over 120 RBI 3 times

 

[Omar 382]

Lee May?

 

[Cedrique]

Lee May?

Nope. This guy was a better hitter. I just noticed he had 7 straight seasons where he hit over .300

 

[Omar 382]

Can I get some teammates?

 

[Omar 382]

Orlando Cepeda?

 

[Cedrique]

Dwight Evans, Paul Molitor , Ted Simmons

 

[Cedrique]

One year he hit over .350 with 122 Ribbies

 

[Omar 382]

Northeast- fire up the Google!

 

[Cedrique]

Yeah, this might be a tougher one for an NL fan. This guy spent his entire career in the AL, mostly with the Red Sox and Brewers

 

[Omar 382]

Jim Rice?

 

[Omar 382]

Cecil Fielder?
