Moises Alou is way too easily remembered for his technique to harden his hands and for his time with the Cubs.

Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Many thanks Izola Gallardo

Im young so perhaps he is more famous than i realize and i vaguely remember something about him beating a murder rap but Cesar Cedeno might belong on this list.

Von Hayes? May have spent too long in Philly, but 143 HR, 253 SB, 113 OPS+.

Rondell White? He’s been a mercenary since the start in Montreal. 198 HR, 94 SB, 108 OPS+.

Jose Cruz (Jr)? 204 HR, 113 SB, 102 OPS+

Brian Jordan? 104 OPS+, 184 HR, 119 SB, but maybe fame due to the whole “two sport” thing – but then again, people might forget him and remember Deion and Bo.

I was also thinking Glenallen Hill, Jeff Leonard, Preston Wilson, Juan Encarnacion, Jim Eisenreich and Joe Orsulak, but they don’t have the numbers of some of the other guys on the list (yes, I always enjoyed the vagabond fourth outfielder types). Eisenreich might be too famous due to the whole “miss three years due to Tourette’s” thing anyway.

Based on updated criteria (with no speed requirement), Matt Stairs is an excellent choice. OPS+ of 118 over 16 seasons for 11 teams. According to Baseball Reference, he made the top-20 in MVP voting exactly once, with a 17th place showing in 1999. My fellow Californians seem to be completely ignorant of Stairs’ contributions for the A’s from 1996-2000. That five year stretch represents his longest run on any one team.
The Matt Stairs World Tour: Montreal, Boston, Oakland, Chicago (Cubs), Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Arlington (Rangers), Detroit, Toronto, Philadelphia.
Bonus: Matt has a cool nickname: “Wonder Hamster”. Double-Bonus: Matt’s good deeds are so unrecognized that:
If you type “Wonder Hamster” into Google, you get about a bajillion links about an obscure thirty second long Weird Al song before a single mention of Mr. Stairs.

Possible Caveat: I’m not sure if his big homer for Philly has made him a local hero around those parts.

Trying to think of someone that really bounced around a lot, Roberto Kelly came to mind. Similar to Sanders in that he started his career with a fairly lengthy time with one team (6 years with the Yankees) before bouncing around the league playing for eight different teams in eight years being traded mid-season three times.

Career .290/.337/.430 with 124 HR and 234 steals and capable of playing all three outfield positions.

Some of the earlier suggestions that I still think ring true include:

Bobby Bonilla
Jeff Conine
Chili Davis
Todd Zeile
Ruben Sierra
Ron Gant
