Bob Johnson always fascinated me also. Gotta imagine if he'd been found by MLB just a couple years earlier, he'd have been in the Hall of Fame long ago.

Similar trajectory to Albert Belle, just at different ages. WAR likes Bob Johnson a bit better though. Probably due to his defensive metrics, slightly better walk rate and the fact he wasn't competing against a bunch of swollen PED monsters for statistical comparisons, even though he did still play in an offensively favorable era.
