You can't go from batting around .250 for most of your career then bat .220 for the rest of your career without regressing. Dude making an All-Star team renders your point void. Disappointing? Yes. Regressed? Yes. But he had a good enough OBP and power to not be completely washed up.
February 22, 20197 yr Todd Frazier was a good player for us and roughly in line with expectations I'd say. Traded some average for power but still very quality player.

February 22, 20197 yr Just looked at Griffey's Sox numbers. He wasn't THAT bad for being 38 years old.

He barely broke 200 I mean, the only thing I need to tell me you're not going to relent on this is that you're not putting the far more disastrous, under performing and destructive Adam from the Nationals that was a DH on there.

I agree Adam LaRoache was worse on the Sox, but I based the list off the players best prime years. Even though LaRoache was worse for the Sox, Dunn had the better career so he made the list. That's also why I put Frazier on, even though admittedly he was a reach.

February 23, 20197 yr In 1925, 41 year old future HOFer Chief Bender broke an eight year retirement to throw one inning for the White Sox, in which he walked a guy and then gave up a homerun. He never played in MLB again. I'd say I win, but we've had a habit of acquiring well over-the-hill legends long before Jerry Reinsdorf showed up. Sad!
