I'd say they're slightly better than "decent or outright average," as a group.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
tom brunansky and troy glaus are on that list. maris was a three year wonder. strawberry was vastly overrated.

Brunansky and Glaus are/were <i>very</i> good players...definitely MUCH better than decent or average. And they're the two worst players of the 10 people on the list. The other 8 were all great stars.
Strawberry was not remotely overrated. He was an absolute superstar until he became a hard-core cocaine addict, mid-career.
Maris won 2 MVP awards, won rings with two different organizations, and broke the greatest record in sports. There have been worse careers.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
