      Hard to believe someone with a .978 OPS and 61k/96bb, would miss. Did the player miss like Joe Charboneau/bob hamlin (early success, fizzle out) or miss like brien taylor(never made it to the big leagues)?

      He made to the major leagues and still wears a uniform.

      @ Steve L.:
      BJ Upton or Delmon Young? Both were young for AAA but still tore it up down there. Those are my guesses.

      Hint: Think March 20, 1978.

      Clint Hurdle. I wouldn’t exactly say he missed. Just wasn’t the superstar we all expected. Sort of like our own Mike Hegan.

      I wasn’t quite three years old yet so I never would’ve gotten this one…

      @ Jim TreshFan:
      Bingo: Clint Hurdle it is!

      I knew you would get this one!
      FYI, the 3/20/78 date was when he was on the cover of SI with “Phenom!”
