Thou shall not assume anything eh Deion?

LOL  I guess that one played in my favor.

Rivera

Oh yeah, a reliever would make more sense than a starter.

I came back here to guess this.  Pitched for a long time.  Appeared in a ton of games, but always in short stints.  Has to be him.  The differential might be in the thousands.

1115 games, zero hits

Eck was 2nd

Lee Smith close too

4 career plate appearances.

Poor managing clearly

Now I wonder what the answer is without pitchers.

Same here man. The greatest player in the game and an electric player coming to play in his hometown Cincy .....ended up too good to be true or just a big bad luck jinx of injuries

Even as an Indians fan, I still believe Griffey was probably the best all around player since at least Willie Mays, if not all time.

Speed, defense in CF, hit for average, and hit for power. 

He would have put the HR record beyond Bonds' reach if not for injuries.

Don't bother. I already know.  ;)  (Came across it while doing the same thing)

Question #45:

Between 1990 and 2010, four non-HOF players won the Silver Slugger award and the MVP in the same year year, despite having starting teammates with: more HRs, fewer SOs, a better slugging percentage, and a better on-base percentage.

Name them.

(I researched the hell out of this one to make sure it didn't turn into another dumpster fire question)

Yep.  In 2000, Jeff Kent won the MVP and Silver Slugger, despite Bonds finishing better than him in all the listed categories.  His case was the only one where the better stats were all held by the SAME teammate.

Jeff Kent

3 more.

Bonds?

Kent has to be one with Bonds.
