Backdoor Slider 8,353 Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Alex Rios was a guy who was on my team often. Had a memory of him being bad once he went to the CWS, but not entirely true. Was a guy you drafted for 17 HR/25 SB. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trexpenniebaker 286 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Kenny Lofton. was a very Good 3 cat superstar, Runs Ave SB. Between 1992-1996 he give you 110-125 runs scored 65-70 SB and .325 ba like clockwork If you got your power someplace else he win you those 3 cats by himself almost. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dark One 496 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Larry Walker in my early days of playing fantasy was one of the best hitters I can remember. From 1997 to 2002 he was particularly dominant and helped me win several titles. And while he obviously wasn't a consistent force, Brady Anderson from 1996: .297 Avg, 1.034 OPS, 117 Runs, 50 HR, 110 RBI, 21 SB's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

motleyfoo 8 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 from the perspective of auction price, in my 24-year young (since '97) AL only keeper league, no player has been drafted more often for $50+ than Carl Crawford. And those 4-5 years of so w/ the Rays, he returned that value every year ..... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sngehl01 919 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Lance Berkman - Averaged 103 R, 33 HR, 111 RBI and a .297/.410/.548 line for a decade (with ~8SB a season to boot) averaged out to 162 games/season. Michael Young was a guy I ended up with a lot. Jose Reyes and David Wright. I remember thinking I was set with them once I had both in a dynasty startup around 2005. From 05-15 he averaged 108/13/65/51/.290 (with a .341 OBP) per 162. Outstanding. Didn't kill you at power but gave great R and SB and BA numbers. David Wright for 7 years averaged 102/26/106/22/.301 per 162 for 7 years. A lot of these "averages" are including the fact guys were mostly playing full seasons during these periods, they injuries piled up late and kept them down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wytchclt55 371 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Jason Bay, Aramis Ramirez, Prince Fielder, Carlos Lee I remember being consistent early round but not quite first pick guys. Closers like Gagne, Koch, and even that fun 1999 John rocker year gets an honorable mention. Rich Harden gets a special place. I’d always chase what he could do if he played. Always got hurt and I loved how he looked for all 7 games he’d pitch each year lol. I think he actually played one full year and was amazing. He was my kryptonite. And then my favorite MLB player of all time, Carl Crawford. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Side note I’ve got a Carl Crawford card with a game-used bat piece in it. If you’ve got any use for it, DM me your address and I’ll shoot it your way. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m also a card carrying member of the glass half full Rich Harden club. Another player who was very fantasy relevant for a time was Aramis Ramirez. For a good 6/7 years he was a very good contributor in homeruns, RBIs and Avg. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

89Topps 2,823 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Probably not a fantasy "Hall of Famer", but prime Matt Kemp won me back to back titles. And just to throw out a name that hasn't been mentioned yet, but my buddy drafted Youk several years in a row in our OPS league. Had a nice 3-4 year run. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicely done @Chest-Rockwell I sure do. Knoblauch acquired a nasty case of the yips later on in his career. Pretty much immediately upon becoming a member of the Yankees in 1998, Knoblauch began having fielding issues. However, his yips on the short distance throw from the 2b position to 1b specifically heightened in the year 2000 when, rather infamously, Knoblauch voluntarily removed himself from a ballgame against my ChiSox in the 6th inning after having just committed his THIRD throwing error of the contest. It was pretty much lights out after that for Chuck. His career fizzled out pretty quickly shortly thereafter, as he was out of baseball entirely upon conclusion of the 2002 season, wrapping things up with a nondescript 80 game stint with the lowly Kansas City Royals.
