Karros on the other hand did turn out a pretty good career. I guess I had always thought that he would have become a better player. Thought he would be a perennial All Star and it looks like he ever made it. |

Re: From Rookie of the Year to Nothing Special
Dontrelle Willis came out scorching until it seemed like the league figured him and his quirky delivery out the last few years. That's the best I can think of

Re: From Rookie of the Year to Nothing Special
Sabo came up late and his rookie tear was his best, but 3300 MLB ab's and 114 HR's and 900 hits is pretty tidy career, put it this way he's getting the big pension.
And if anyone really wants to scratch what Reds players have juiced he's one of the guys I'd have to look at, based on his game, his quirky behavior and the time he played. |

Well, let that be a reminder never to buy cards from a guy with "Fast" as his nickname. Remember the '89 Topps Gregg Jeffries card? It was the Holy Grail of collecting for a few months. |
