Hooray for Al Hamilton.

Between him and Ismael Reyes, my team's record book is being rewritten this season.

[Delandis]

Looks like Gaston is very underrated.

A Pete Hampton sighting. Underrated late 80's guy.

I just decided to overpay him for two more years. He may actually end up as a part-time DH in Los Lunas next year.

[Jake]

Still waiting for one of you fools to come up with a new OOTP utility that compares OOTP guys to MLB guys.

There's already an algorithm for most similar hitters in the BLB universe. I don't see how anyone hasn't just plugged in MLB stats into that baby. I'd use that thing all the time.

[Carlos]

Too generous.

Look at Kruk's stats. .300 hitter. 150 homeruns. 600 RBI.

Hampton's stats are right in line and they both played till about the same age.

I think Kruk is the closest, especially if we both remember he was easily over 220.

[Clay]

I had a feeling you'd say something like that.

I'm trying to think of an MLB equivalent to Hampton. Fat white left handed 1B.

First thought is John Kruk, but though his career stats do match up somewhat, I didn't realize Kruk was only 5'10 and 170 lbs. I feel like there's a lie in there. Or maybe I'm just so used to seeing Kruk now.

If Kruk was 170 then Cecil Fielder was 195. Kruk was 220+ in the later years for sure.

Don't have a good Hampton comp. Poor man's Prince Fielder?

[Carlos]

I'm a Tiger fan....of course I do!

He was okay if you like fat first basemen.

Hampton jumped out at me too. Made me go and check his career stats.
