He even had 2 home runs!

his OBP was more ~40 higher than his slugging. *that* is rare.

aah, that was the year Erstad set the hits record.... - groiny Aug 19, 09:31 18
- Erstad had one good year. Dude was never that good. - musubi Aug 19, 09:34 11
  - GG caliber outfielder, 10-15 homer power, .300 avg, 30+ steals - groiny Aug 19, 09:36 10
    - For one season. Look at *every* other season he played, you see which one was the outlier and which was the real Erstad. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 09:38 9
      - I understand. But his knees are a big part of that. - groiny Aug 19, 09:39 8
        
        Meh. Jimmy Edmonds lasted a long time going all out, and he didn't get to rest at 1B and DH like Erstad. - musubi Aug 19, 09:41 7
        
        .282 career average, even with a handful of sub .260 years. - groiny Aug 19, 09:43 6
        
        If you get to throw out his sub-.260 years, I get to throw out his +.300 year. - musubi Aug 19, 09:48
        
        Plus, all the roids from football caught up to him. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:43 4
        
        He was a *punter*. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 09:46 2
        
        You don't think punters ain't candidates for roids? Todd Sauerbrun.... - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:48 1
        
        No, not that he couldn't have used roids, it's just that Erstad was a *punter*. - musubi Aug 19, 09:52
        
        that could be a legit point. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 19, 09:44
- Erstad never got close to the hits record? - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:34 5
  - 240 hits...that's kinda close -- nm - Jim Aug 19, 09:38 1
    - Ahh, I forgot he got that close that year. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:40
  - Erstad tied Boggs for the post '47 (integration) hits record, till Ichiro crushed it. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 09:38
  - 2000 Ana 157 676 121 240 39 6 25 100 64 82 28 8 .355 .409 .541 .950 - groiny Aug 19, 09:38
