Question for #Marlins fans: Is Garrett Hampson good? I mean, his numbers are nothing amazing this year. But he's played all over the field (h/t @FishOnFirst) And he was AWFUL for the @Rockies. Couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat So what gives? Has he figured it out?

The @Reds once loved Pokey Reese so much they refused to trade him for Ken Griffey Jr. Neither Griffey nor Pokey worked out as the Reds hoped Although Reese won 2 GG, he was gone from Cincinnati after '01. He never hit: .248/.307/.352 But he did this: bit.ly/prcatch
Let's talk about Billy Hamilton, who may join @RaysBaseball soon Hamilton is (or at least was) ridiculously fast. Some say the fastest ever But man, he can't hit a lick. With a .292 career OBP, he wasted that speed Vince Coleman looks like Ted Williams next to Hamilton

#WhiteSox fans seem happy that Kenny Williams is gone. They were probably happy when the Sox traded Williams back in 1989. He stunk. After a decent year in '87, Williams hit .159 in '88. He did no better with @tigers, @BlueJays & @Montreal_Expos. He finished w/ a 66 career OPS+
Todd Greene has some cool things on his résumé: 1) He was one of the greatest college hitters EVER 2) He had monster years in the minors 3) He caught the most famous 1st pitch ever: Pres GW Bush post-9/11 But then it was downhill. Greene lost his mighty bat: .252, 83 OPS+. Alas

Among the Catching Molina Brothers you have: -Yadier, 10x All-Star, 9x Gold Glover, potential HOF; -Bengie, who had a decent bat and won a GG and a WS; and -José, who...backed up Bengie on the @Angels Poor José couldn't hit like his brothers: .233 career AVG, 39 HR, 64 OPS+
You might know Ryan Christenson as the @Padres' "associate manager." (What's up with the title inflation?) But I remember him as a bad player In 6 seasons w/@Athletics, @Dbacks, @Rangers, @Brewers he had 66 OPS+, 16 HR Spent too much time practicing calligraphy, I guess

Did you ever get so drunk you smashed in a store window, put four watches on each arm, and then passed out? Todd Cruz did Cruz had a cannon for an arm but had a 59 OPS+ and was an error machine (40+ in a season 7X in minors!) But Cruz won a ring with @Orioles, so there's that
Marvell Wynne is a great name. There's the former @MLS player, plus his dad…a bad @MLB player Wynne had .649 OPS & 58 SB%, and played a lousy centerfield. But he still had an MLB job for 8 yrs My memory of Wynne: chasing a @DocGooden16 fastball when Doc set the rookie K record

Gary Bennett, another awful backup catcher who hung around forever Bennett hit .241, 64 OPS+…but played 13 yrs! Mike Piazza was pissed when @Dodgers signed Bennett instead of him in '08: "If they'd brought in Pudge Rodriguez, sure, I could understand that. But Gary Bennett?"
Benji Gil is getting a lot of buzz as a future manager w/ @Angels' Phil Nevil on the hot seat Let's hope Gil is a better manager than he was a player How does his slash line of .237/.283/.358 sound? Or 147 Ks in 130 gms…when he had 9 HR & .347 SLG? Terrible, right?
Al Newman has 2 more rings than Ted Williams and Ty Cobb But with apologies to @Twins fans, he sucked To paraphrase Harry Doyle: "That's all he got? 1 goddamn HR?" Yup, Newman had 1 HR in 8 seasons. Throw in a .226 AVG, 58 OPS+ & 62% SB%, and you have yourself an Awful Player

These may be fighting words to @Cubs fans, but Bob Dernier sucked Granted, the CF was solid for the '84 Cubs, who nearly made the WS. Batted leadoff, .355 OBP, stole 45 bases, got MVP votes But the 79 OPS+ for his career tells you what kind of hitter he was. (Hint: a bad one)
It's not easy being the brother of an all-time great--especially when you're in the same lineup Tommie Aaron (Hank's brother) was a "AAAA" player: great in the minors, crap in the majors. 7 yrs, .229/.292/.327, 13 HR, -2.8 WAR Tommie became the first black mgr in AA & Intl Lg.

Anyone remember Koyie Hill? A catcher who hung around for 11 yrs despite being a godawful hitter With 5 MLB teams, he hit .207 w/ 46 OPS+, -2.6 WAR. And he wasn't even great defensively! Hill cut off his fingers in a table saw accident. Amazingly, he played 7 seasons after that

Jelly Jackson: great name, huh? But he was an AWFUL hitter He played on a stacked Homestead Grays team that had Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell, Buck Leonard & Ray Brown But Jelly? Worst OPS in history (35), .199/.262/.248, -4.0 WAR The pitchers WERE ready for this Jelly (sorry)

Dave Kingman launches a moonshot over Waveland Avenue that ends up landing on a porch roof three doors down Kenmore Avenue. I’ve stood in front of that house and you would not believe a human could hit a baseball that far.

Craziest baseball stat ever. No, seriously. Jose Altuve had three homers before the 7-8-9 hitters for the Rangers even had their first at bat. Put your head around that for a second. Wow. Baseball is the good stuff.
9/1/1975 With ten strikeouts against the Pirates, Tom Seaver becomes the first pitcher to record eight consecutive 200-strikeout seasons. Seaver tosses a complete game four-hit shutout to win his 20th game of the season and lower his ERA to 2.06.
