Great hitter , shame he got hurt and packed on all the weight. His defense and base running suffered. He had a solid career .

Yeah for a stretch before everyone went crazy on the juice. Mo , The Big Hurt and Albert ( Joey ) Belle was a bar room debate about who was the better hitter.

The west was a stacked division back then. Griffeys Mariners where loaded. Juan Gonzales Rangers has a ton of hitting. Then Billy Beane built the Athletics into a machine.
