I have him probably higher than a lot of people, in at #7. I'll run down some of his particulars(mostly for you Bill
)
23 years, played in 4 decades. (5 of those years can be pretty much thrown out due to limited PT)
13 seasons over .285 BA
11 years 40+ steals
12 seasons over .380 OBP
Excellent OFer, sub par arm, speed to burn
Quiet team leader who never caused much of a stir
No MVP respect, but he was at least top 3 in 3 seasons, and top 10 probably in 6 or more.
Black ink doesn't do him justice...he was a good average hitter but played at the same time as Tony Gwynn. Not a big HR guy, but managed 170 for his career. Good extra base gap type power.
Career top 100 in: G, AB, R, H, TB, BB, SB(#5), RC, Int. walks??
The guy was about as underrated as anyone during his career. He played in relative anonymity in Montreal, then in CHicago. Did manage to get a ring with the Yanks in '96.
