If you can imagine a guy who drops 75+ WAR, retires at age 35, and has people point to him and say "imagine what he would have been like if he could have stayed onthe field?" you get the idea of who Alfredo Martinez was. The kid could flat-out rake. He went deep 40 or more times six time sin his career. Led the league in walks a couple times. Steals and runs a couple more. His 21-year-old season was as scintilating as any.
What's most amazing about all this is the pain the kid played with. He was plagued with bumps and bruiises as a youngster, and it just kept getting worse and worse. A broken kneecap at age 22 was the first of the _big_ injuries, but no where near the last. Look at those numbers, though, and when you look at them realize that after age 22, Alfredo Martinez would see 600 plate appearances only twice more.
