# I don't know if "clutch" is in the game or not, but it if it, Fernando Moreno had it. He was a mainstay in the Huntsville organization for most of his career, taking advantage of a park tailor made for a player like him, but also had a resurgence in a gently re-configured California ballpark. But, let's face it, you don't put up 8-10 WAR because you play in one ballpark or another. Fernando Moreno made pitchers come down with flu-like symptoms from three days away. So, um, first ballot or not? Discuss...

I know I'm biased, but 3 Silks, 550+ HR, 2000+ hits, 65+WAR and a bajillion playoff awards says a lot.
