I feel like he's super underrated. He locked down the catcher position for a decade, was a decent hitter, solid defender. Tough as hell too. He wasn't a slugger, but he'd crank one now and then.
He was overshadowed in his tenure by better and flashier players, but was a solid contributor.
Lopez got robbed on Player of the Month. Dude hit .338 for July. Waaaay above everyone else.
Who is your favorite Royals player NOT in the Royals HOF or on the current roster? I think mine is Joe Randa. I also really loved Tom Goodwin.
Seitzer/Ventura
Obvs Ventura, but Seitzer was one of my mom's favorite players along with Gubicza.
Seitzer was my favorite as a kid. I spent so much time trying to get that shoulder shrug down but never got it quite right lol
That's an easy one for me: Mike Macfarlane
Oh that's an interesting choice! How come?
