# Limón was one of the last few active players to be able to trace his beginnings of professional ball back to the EBA. Limón spent most of his career in Twin Cities, including his career-best season in 2033 when he slashed .300/.425/.572 with 67 steals. Limón ultimately swiped nearly 500 bases in his career (485) but outside of his short-lived peak of 2032-2035 (averaged 4.7 WAR during that time), the Puerto Rican native third baseman often left a sour taste in the mouth of those expecting more.

Good player for a while. Not a Hall of Famer.
