I was a huge fan. He was always referred to as an old-school player, because he was a head-down get-the-job-done guy (I don't know why old-school meant that). So he wasn't a glamorous guy. But he was really fun to watch, and I would probably choose him as my top 3B of the last 30 years (Arenado is right there). He was one of those few guys that seemed bigger than the game, like everyone else was in the minor leagues. It is too bad he injured his shoulder in that collision with Choi.
