Guy played 14 years, was a lifetime .300 hitter with plenty of pop, led the league in hits twice and slugging once. Defensively, he led his outfield position in assists, several times throughout his career (he must have been awful at all other phases of fielding  ).
His lifetime WAR is less then Aaron Judges........in the current season.

In 1996 he had a 30/30 season, while batting .313, driving in 141 RBI's and scoring 114 runs.........and was credited with a WAR of 0.7.
