![]() ![]() ![]() Not a bad season for a 24-year-old third baseman. ![]() 298 with 34 home runs, 107 RBIs, 104 runs, and. How about Fernando Tatis? In 1999, Tatis hit. He re-emerged in the Mariners' bullpen last year, and since he's still just 31 might have a long career as a lefty reliever. Instead, Perez was never able to harness his control in Pittsburgh. It was his age-22 season, and the Pirates believed they had a staff ace in the making. He went 12-10 with that 2.98 ERA, striking out 239 batters in 196 innings. RASHEED WALLACE HAIR PATCH PATCHWhile Perez had a couple decent seasons with the Mets, his 2004 season with the Pirates stands out like that patch of white on Rasheed Wallace's hair. It proved to be a fluke season as Hall combined for 29 home runs the next two seasons and drifted into journeyman status, going from Milwaukee to Seattle to Boston to Houston to San Francisco and to Baltimore in 2012 (for seven games). 270 with 35 home runs - the only shortstops in the past 50 years to hit more home runs in a season are Alex Rodriguez, Rico Petrocelli and Rich Aurilia. As Milwaukee's shortstop that year he hit. He was never really completely healthy after that (three elbow surgeries) and pitched through 2001, but usually ineffectively.īill Hall is still floating around the majors (barely), essentially because he had a great season back in 2006. He was a good pitcher, at least for that one season. 271 average on balls in play that, while low, wasn't ridiculous or anything.

Lively ball? Everybody started using steroids at once? Wilkins was part of the offensive explosion. But that alone doesn't explain the jump in offense: Run scoring went from 4.12 per game to 4.60, with the major league batting average increasing from. You know, a funny thing happened from 1992 to 1993. OK, back to Wilkins, Baseball-Reference WAR rates his '93 season as the best in Cubs history by a catcher. The same Gonzalez who would eventually find his way to Arizona, where he would hit 57 home runs in 2001. 191, the Cubs acquired Luis Gonzalez in that deal. Here's what's interesting: Even though Wilkins was hitting. 203 with seven homers and the Cubs shipped him out of town. Even the most optimistic of Cubs fans couldn't have expected his season. A third-year catcher in '93, Wilkins had hit well enough after a promotion from the minors in '92 to win the job for '93. I didn't search for long before finding this season: Rick Wilkins in 1993.
