Yeah, I mean with Ripken I wasn't really considering him but he jumps out on that list.

I had somehow never heard of him before we started this. When I saw him on the leaderboard, I assumed he was a one year wonder (and he was to an extent because that 1969 was just insane) but he actually had a really nice career. Huh.
I've never understood why he doesn't get more cred. Not that he's an elite all time player, but he shouldn't be a complete unknown like he is.
I almost tried to sneak in later but I was afraid of you and Phil taking him. You for obvious reasons and Phil because I know we're looking at the same list.
:thumbsup: He was definitely one of the guys on the "How long can I wait before taking him?" list.

Especially playing in Boston.

Even here, like he's known but he's just like a guy that you see at the fantasy camps and stuff. His name never comes up when discussing great Red Sox players.

I'm a pretty big baseball stats/trivia nerd, and, like I said, I had never heard of him before I started looking into this draft. There are a few other guys who fit that bill, too, but most of them really did have just the one big season and did very little other than that.

Plus, he put those numbers up at SS, which makes even stranger that he is so forgotten. It's not like he was a run of the mill power hitting 1B.

I think we've just been skipping him when we get there rather than waiting 2 hours.

I was taking him my next pick. I just couldn't pass up a third 10+WAR starter.
