Bonds didn’t K that much…

 

[calsnowskier]

I hope it's not Adam Dunn.

Good guess…

I don’t think he walked that much, though…

I haven't looked at what he did yearly but I peeked at his career stats and you might be surprised.

 

[Cedrique]

McGwire?

Correct!

 

[Cedrique]

Bonds didn’t K that much…

Yeah for Bonds the question would be who had over 200 walks and less than 50 Ks in a season but it is too obvious. 85% of the people would get it in one guess and maybe a few people would guess Ruth or Williams.

 

[calsnowskier]

Correct!

It had to be a recent free swinging bopper. That pretty much means Sosa, McGwire, Judge, Bonds, Thome…

yeah Sosa was the biggest hacker around but even he got over 100 walks a couple times when he was hitting 50-60 bombs in a season.

Here's how scary Bonds was as a hitter...Showalter (on the Dbacks) walked him intentionally with the bases loaded. They were up 2 in the 9th, with 2 outs, he probably correctly gave up a run to not face him.

Not certain I understand…

Miggy was the last remaining active player? And you are asking who was the 2nd to last to retire?

Beyond Miggy who was the most recent to have been on a major league roster.

Bonus if you can name the team who signed him in the '90s.

Miggy was the Marlins.

Pujols was drafted by the Cards.

 

[calsnowskier]

Pujols

He was drafted

 

[YourFriendGannon]

He was drafted

He still signed though. As opposed to someone like Rich Hill who was drafted in '99 but did not sign.

 

[YourFriendGannon]

Pujols is not the answer I am looking for though.

Pujols is not the answer I am looking for though.

So it’s somebody that retired this last offseason.

Nellie Cruz?

 

[YourFriendGannon]

So it’s somebody that retired this last offseason.

Nellie Cruz?

Yep. Who signed him though?

 

[calsnowskier]

Yep. Who signed him though?

I think he came up with Texas? (Obviously not looking it up)

 

[calsnowskier]

OK…

I looked it up.

Texas actually wasn’t a bad guess. But wow. This dude had a STORY!
