# Leonard was a stalwart member of the Calgary Pioneer's organization with a brief stint in San Antonio. His peak was a three-season stint of 5.5-6.0 WAR seasons. His clutchness, if there is such a thing, shows up in those playoff awards.

Leonard looked like he was on a path to possibly 3,000 hits, but a pretty severe drop off hit at age 33-34, and he was pretty much done from there. I'm going to guess he'll have a one-season stay on the ballot, but you can pretty much guarantee that the Calgary contingent will be voting him in for as long as it lasts.

That stats probably good enough. But I’m not terribly excited about him.
