I know he didn’t have the steals needed to make the top list but he wasn’t even mentioned in the list below showing ones that came close. His stats over all were awesome, except for steals for many different years. Need to get on the ball here!!!!!

Loved the twist at the end.

I would never have thought Wright was among the very few who have achieved that. It’s all the more remarkable because, unlike Guerrero and Walker, Wright did it in a pitchers park and AFTER steroids testing was implemented. Impressive!

He came pretty close in his rookie year.

We look at Wrights numbers but when looking at the lineup he played in you can see many reasons why he hasn’t been that good…
Question is if he got the help can he be that good again which is where I think the major contention with his signing may lay…

Shawn Kemp played basketball…although nice to see we’ve got another basketball fan in here, too lol

You mean 1987 on E. Davis right? Thanks guys, I added them.

I’ll try and add them. Thanks Perseus.

1997 .293 .399 .593 .991 with 37 HR and 50 SB!!!
the year before he was 3 HR away from being a 30/80 guy.

Oh, Matt…here are a few more guys who deserve some credit.

Ellsbury ’11: 32 HR, 119 RS, 105 RBI, 39/54 SB, .321 AVG, .376 OBP, .552 SLG…

Kemp ’11: 39 HR, 115 RS, 126 RBI, 40/51 SB, .324 AVG, .399 OBP, .586 SLG.

Hanley ’08: 33 HR, 125 RS, 67 RBI, 35/47 SB, .301 AVG, .400 OBP, .540 SLG

and… I think this one fulfills all your requirements.

Bagwell ’99: 42 HRs, 143 RS, 126 RBI, 30/41 SB, .304 AVG, .454 OBP, .591 SLG.

People forget he had a pretty decent season in 2010. I don’t see it really, he’s only 30, power peaks for players in their early 30′s. If he were in a better lineup I wouldn’t put another MVP season or two out of the range of possibility, especially if they can ever find a legitimate table setter to hit in front of him (I’m sure David misses Reyes more than just about anyone). Maybe not the steals, but he was on fire the first half of last year … The beaning and Citi’s original insane David hating configuration threw him for a loop but he’s clearly past that … m.b.

Today he is a solid .300/20/90-100 guy. These are numbers any team would take from their 3B especially if he continues to play GG caliber defense.

I was annoyed they didn’t take the risk on him. Hindsight and Mad Dog 20/20…
