3-21 = Craig Biggio, 2B, Houston Astros

            Biggio is going to gain catcher eligibility soon because you know, knee cartilage doesn’t matter in TECMO land.

Stats through 20 games = .369, 5 HRs, 16 RBIs, 12 Rs, 5 SBs

3-22 = Larry Walker, OF, Montreal Expos

            Larry Walker is best remembered for going completely bonkers during his 1997 MVP season for the Colorado Rockies. To put it in perspective, here are the stats.

.366 AVG

49 HRs
130 RBIs
33 SBs
143 Rs
1.172 OPS

            That stat line would single-handedly win fantasy leagues in 2012. I’ll vote for the 1997 version of Larry Walker as one of the most underrated baseball players of all time.

Stats through 20 games = .333, 5 HRs, 16 RBIs, 20 Rs, 3 SBs

3-23 = Roger Clemens, SP, Boston Red Sox

            In case you didn’t read my Red Sox break-ups post, I’ll say it again…Clemens is an asshole.

Stats through 20 games = 4 Ws, 1.13 ERA, 0.50 WHIP, 51 Ks

3-24 = Jeff Bagwell, 1B, Houston Astros

            The real life NL MVP of the strike shortened 1994 season, Bagwell probably would’ve eclipsed 50 dingers if they played the full slate. He started slow in TECMO land, but has since heated up.

Stats through 20 games = .402, 5 HRs, 10 RBIs, 15 Rs, 1 SB

3-25 = Lenny Dykstra, CF, Philadelphia Phillies

            A tax evader. A steroids user. A horrendous businessman. By all accounts, a rotten human being. In TECMO land, Dykstra is simply a damn good centerfielder.

Stats through 20 games = .322, 4 HRs, 15 RBIs, 15 Rs, 4 SBs

3-26 = Carlos Baerga, 2B, Cleveland Indians

            I remember nothing about Carlos Baerga, and with good reason. 1993 was his career season, 1994 was decent, and it was all downhill from there.

Stats through 20 games = .348, 1 HR, 12 RBIs, 21 Rs, 10 SBs

3-27 = Eddie Murray, DH, Cleveland Indians

            Eddie Murray will be best remembered for never smiling. Seriously, the guy looked like someone told him he’d lost all of his finances moments after he hit his 500^th home run.

Stats through 20 games = .395, 2 HRs, 12 RBIs, 17 Rs, 0 SBs

3-28 = Gary Sheffield, 3B, Florida Marlins

            Gary Sheffield is surrounded by total crap on the 1994 Marlins. Other than Chuck Carr (who’s a base stealer), there isn’t another player of value to back him up. If Super Nintendo were ever able to figure out proper A.I. for opposing teams, Sheffield would be the most walked hitter in the game.

Stats through 20 games = .474, 6 HRs, 12 RBIs, 13 Rs, 6 SBs

3-29 = Reggie Sanders, OF, Cincinnati Reds

            Best known for playing for eleventy billion different teams during the 2000s, Sanders is one of the better speed-power combo guys in the game. He’s the anchor of an underrated Cincinnati offense.

Stats through 20 games = .306, 3 HRs, 16 RBIs, 18 Rs, 5 SBs

3-30 = Joe Carter, OF, Toronto Blue Jays

            There are only two men who have hit walk-off home runs to win a World Series. Joe Carter is one of them.

Stats through 20 games = .291, 6 HRs, 19 RBIs, 13 Rs, 0 SBs
