# Solid hitter with Montreal for most of his career. Deadly during his peak, but that was a fairly short period. He was productive for several more years before fading pretty hard at age 34. Seems to me like he's more of a "Hall of Good" than anything else, but I'll be interested to see what the consensus is.

I think you nailed it. Good player overall, great at times, stunk others, short peak. Not HOF material.
