Dude threw the straightest fastball I've ever seen.Rafael Betancourt. I loved the hesitations and toe-tapping and the dead-straight fastballs put wherever he wanted them.
I went as David Justice for Halloween when I was 10 and insisted on shaving my head to look like him.David Justice seems to always be forgotten about when the 90s teams are brought up.
.294/.392/.526 split in 3.5 seasons, averaged 27 HRs, 95 RBI, 85 R, 3.1 WAR a season. Monster run producer dropped into a lineup that was already full of them, was a perfect fit.
First guy to appear in both threads, I believe!Richie Sexson. Trading him away for Wickman the beginning of the end
Sexson was good for the Brewers and D-Backs, but in hindsight, he sucked for us. Both seasons he was a starter he had a wRC+ under 100.Sexson wasn't a bad player but went to the basement when he hit 33. I mean we did trade him a season after he hit 30 HRs.
My dad really like Brian Giles and wasn't happy when we got rid of him for Rincon. I don't blame him since Giles ended up career wise a very legit player.
Santana is a good pick. He had his detractors around here as well.Shaw was my #1 pick, so I’m going to go out on a limb and say Carlos Santana.
Don’t really see it a ton here, but before his breakout campaign last season, a lot of casual fans on Twitter seemed to constantly have him in their crosshairs because they’d only look at BA.
Ellis was a really cool guy. Remember one game, he was signing autos and my brother gave him his ticket to sign. The ticket price was $26. Ellis saw the price and while signing, "Damn, they must be paying us alot of money if tickets cost this much"Ellis Burks
Not just twitter, but here as well. I love Carlos and so glad we have him back.Shaw was my #1 pick, so I’m going to go out on a limb and say Carlos Santana.
