2013 silver slugger, all star, mlb rbi leader After that he had 1.5 years where he wasn’t horrific and set the all time record for most at bats without a hit quote:Chris Davis holds the MLB record for the most consecutive at-bats without a hit by a position player, going 54 at-bats without a hit
He fell off hard but I wouldn’t say someone with close to 300 HR’s a flash in the pan.

12 yr mlb career. Never made an all star team.
Jason heyward would be more applicable considering his trajectory through his first 5 seasons.

From my perspective, he had a long story arc. I followed his recruiting in high school, watched him play in high school. Watched him play 4 years at Arkansas. He was always a “big deal.” He was a monster in high school. He shared touches with McFadden and Jones and fully deserved a seat at the table with them. Most just know about his short lived peak in the NFL culminating in the Madden cover.

Exactly. Per his wiki: Francoeur is famous for his promise at the very beginning of his career: he made the cover of the edition of August 26, 2005 of Sports Illustrated, who dubbed him "The Natural" after he hit .360 with a 1.067 OPS in his first 37 games.

Fun Joe Charboneau fact: because of multiple broken noses and surgeries, doctors had to drill a hole in Joe's nose. As a result, he was capable of drinking beer through his nose.
I remember hearing that. He also rocked a mean white boy late 70's/early 80's disco perm.

Jerome Walton. As a Cubs rookie of the year in 1989, he went on a tear hitting .400 during a 30 game hit streak in the middle of summer and became an instant sensation. But he never did anything after that, mostly languishing as a bench player and pinch runner.

Denny won 55 games in those two years

He also saved his son and niece from drowning in a riptide and almost got himself killed.

Has anybody said Matthew Dellavadova yet? God I couldn’t stand that nba finals. You would think he was Gary Payton the way the media kept talking about his defense. Then you never heard from him again

Great rookie season with the Yankees with tons of power, got figured out by the opposition once they had film on him and couldn’t adapt.
