What is this Wang stuff? This is his second full season. I can't compare this year's numbers to last year's numbers until this one is over. Give the guy a break. FYI bad timing. He throwing a perfect game after 6 right now.

Brady Anderson. Whatever happened to him, anyway?

Brady Anderson. Never did anything else in his carrer. Beltre has at least had some decent seasons, as has Zito and Erstad was an ok player. Lidge was lights out 4 a couple of years, until Albert Pujols.

Norm cash - 1961
BA-361 OB%-487 SLG-662 HR-41 R-119 RBI-132
In 17 seasons his highest "other" BA was 283
Glenn Beckert - 1971
BA-342
In 11 seasons his highest "other" BA was 294
I would agree that Adrian Beltre's 2004 season was a bolt out of the blue>He should have won the Gold Glove that year also, edging out my guy Scott Rolen
Brady Anderson's 96 season was similar to Luis Gonzalez 01 season where he hit 325 with 57HR
Darin Erstad's 2000 season was very similar to Beckert's 71 season. >Erstad had a shot at the single season hit record that year<
Al Cowens - 1977
A completely average ballplayer at best, in 1977 he finished second in the AL MVP voting.
There are a lot of "average" players who have had monster years. >Good question, hope you get some interesting answers.
Sort of for a different reason but "Super" Joe Charboneau comes up when fans remember "1" hit wonders.

One oldie from the 1970's -- Wayne Garland won 20 games with the Baltimore Orioles in 1976. His timing was perfect, as he had never won more than 5 games in a season before that.
Garland signed a rich (relatively speaking) contract with the Cleveland Indians. He pitched 282 innings the next year, going 13-19. That blew out his arm, and he never won more than six games in a season again and never was above .500 again.

I'm going with Brady Anderson. He hit 50 dingers in 1996, and I think his career total ended up at about 57.

I think I would have to pick old Rookie of Year winners Joe Charbaneau or Bob Hamlin instead of those choices.
Neither one of them amounted to anything after winning the award, and their careers were not ended by injuries like Mark Fidrych's career was ended.
