It's a Crime, Dog

Dugout Central looks at the bad timing of Fred McGriff's career. He was always one of my favorites. I think the big reason Fred didn't stick in the minds of baseball fans was that he didn't ride the wave of big offense from 1993 on. Paul O'Neill, for example, ramped up his game at that time period, but McGriff, after a great 1994, saw his slugging drop. Bad timing, indeed.

Yes, the Crime Dog was a good one. And you're right, he's one guy who put up outstanding offensive numbers, but you'd almost never think of him in conversation when talking about great power hitters.
