really interesting that Royce got this role. i got to meet him several times when I was a kid. really nice guy. he could swipe some bags in his early days got me thinking about all those journeymen MLB players that wont' be a HOFer but had a sustained, solid career. who else you got?

Royce Clayton



Chris Speier
Tony Taylor
Shannon Stewart

Kevin Youkillis won't make it into the HoF but he's as good a player as there's been in the MLB for the last 5 years.

Randy Velarde comes to mind, though I'm not sure he qualifies as a journeyman.

guy used to absolutely crush the ball in Oakland.

interesting tidbit about him:

quote:

Stairs didn't have 500 plate appearances until age 29, at which point he recorded 100 RBI seasons and an adjusted OPS of over 130 two years in a row- and never saw 500 at-bats again.

Oh cmon, I know he's not Pujols good, but 4 straight seasons of over .900 OPS isn't too shabby.

Somebody said good players that wouldn't get into the HoF, so I mentioned one right here. Same with Justin Mornuea (sp).

Kevin Mitchell doesn't belong in this thread either given that he won an MVP.
