Player Highlights

The COVID lot decided today would be a good day to highlight a few players, and who am I to argue? 

Scott started with Minnesota in 1990 and it was his 20 win season in 1991 which had him as a star of the game very early in his career. It didn't last though as, he ended up leading the league in losses with 19 just two years later.

A move to Baltimore in 1995 helped a bit and he did well through the 90s. Truth be told, I don't remember him pitching after 1999, but apparently he had a few outings spread across four teams in 2004-2006 - which were not great, before calling it a career.

 He did get his World Series ring with Minnesota in 1991, but that was it. Wonder what the mind set is winning so early and whether it's really appreciated at the time, or more so over a career where it continues to be elusive.

Garret was almost a career Angel's organization player. The last bit of his career was with Atlanta and then the Dodgers. Over his career, he surpassed 2,500 hits and almost 300 home runs.

Getting his World Series ring in 2002, and winning the home run derby in 2003, he was a really great player, but as shown with his one year Hall of Fame voting (getting 0.2%), he wasn't in that top echelon.

The Marlins early years quickly saw Charkes be the guy behind the plate. He was a solid defensive catcher winning 4 golden gloves and helped the team in it's early years, including the 1997 World Series win.

After leaving the Marlins, he bounced around a handful of teams but only saw the playoffs again in 2000 as a member of the White Sox.

An interesting trio of stars from the 90s (mostly).
