Bellhorns 2002 season was the lone bright spot in that too recent season of despair. I still would like to know what happened between he and Dusty in early 2003 that got him moved to the bench and then shipped to Colorado. It may have been simply his understated way (some would claim passive) toward the game and his non aggressive approach at the plate.

His 2004 season in Boston showed that he had one more productive season in his toolset.

I think you mean OPS? If some guy had an .886 OBP, he would be making $50M a year and be driving Bentleys. Forget Cadillacs, Bentleys.

Frankly, if a guy puts up an .886 OBP he can strike out 300 times in a season. That Bellhorn outlier year was awfully good!

Not surprised to see Sosa, Horn, Gonzo, or K-Nandez on that list. All of them were wild swingers. Is it possible we could get a list of players around MLB who accomplished that feat? I would think Tubby and Big Donkey would be on such a list
