Cheppy 149 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) 13 hours ago, Cmilne23 said: my favorite random fantasy season ever, 2000 Richard Hidalgo. .314 avg, 44 homers, 122 RBIs, 118 runs, 13 SBs, 1000+ ops. Not as random considering his move to Coors but that was Preston Wilson for me circa 2003. He was key in catapulting my team to the title. .282 avg, 36 hr, 141 RBI, 94 R, 14 SB Edited March 23, 2020 by Cheppy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly same with Schilling though. He’s a top 25 SP all-time who’s being kept out by writers, but is certainly a HOFer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But just top of head and not looking at stats. I think there’s a lot to be said about Schilling’s playoff success. Runner up to Cy Young 3 times to Randy Johnson to boot. Highest career K:BB of any pitcher in the 3000k club. Jeter’s longevity was a big driver for his HOF success, but I think the playoff success helped his case quite a bit too. Ironically, Schilling doesn’t get the same benefit from his playoff record because of how outspoken he is about his political beliefs Edited March 23, 2020 by UberRebel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Funkhouser 1,202 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Prime Jose Reyes was incredible. Then he hurt his hamstring. Mets rushed him back I still remember the series where it happened. Out in LA ran up the first base line and pulled up he was never the same after that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cesare13 1,257 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) I dont know about fantasy HOF, but magglio ordonez never got any love. That's a name we likely wont hear much again.

I don’t think they were quite Magglio, particularly in the AVG department, but super solid fantasy pieces for many years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Junkie Cosmonaut 702 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Johnny Damon - Always solid and chased 20 SBs more often than not. Derrek Lee had a good decade long run where his OPS never dipped under .820 Jeff Kent - .902 OPS from 1998-2007, averaged 89 runs and 102 RBIs per year during that stretch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Backdoor Slider 8,292 Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 I looked up 2008 fantasy rankings, because I had nothing better to do. Was a great trip down memory lane! Forgot about guys like Peavy, OsWalt, and Matt Kemp. And lesser guys like Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe (always chasing those Rockies)! http://www.mlb.com/content/printer_friendly/mlb/y2008/m01/d30/c2360329.jsp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EWV1 44 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) It was before I played - maybe before most all of us played - but Juan Samuel's peak 1984-1987 was stellar and he stayed relevant as a power-speed guy through 1991 when healthy. Speaking of when healthy -- Eric Davis of course - just incredible. Edited March 24, 2020 by EWV1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cmilne23 10,559 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 A few underrated guys who use to carry me: Brian Roberts - great speed and never killed you anywhere Aramis Ramirez - RBI machine Brian Giles - always underrated on those awful Pirate clubs Troy Glaus - had some huge power years Ryan Klesko - steady under the radar performer Moises Alou - could roll out of bed today and probably hit .290 Jorge Posada - maybe I was attracted to guys with no batting gloves? Miguel Tejada - guy has to be the iron man, played a ton of games and ran into a ton of stats Jose Vidro - poor guy had to end career in Seattle. Use to be my 2B steal every year in roid era. Didn’t hit for a ton of power bit professional .300+ hitter hidden in Montreal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
