While easily a Guiness entry for the “longest mediocre career with one club,” he had a 4-year stretch, 1973-77, which trumps anything Willie Montenez could muster except HR’s (even there, Ed’s SLG in all 4 beat Willie’s highet of 2).Hobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12583242267777911354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-54473120630068578382014-11-01T12:31:06.994-04:002014-11-01T12:31:06.994-04:00Jim Hickman was an early favorite...terrible with ...Jim Hickman was an early favorite...terrible with Mets in the '60's, followed (naturally) by a sesational season with the Cubs.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-65445197840213498322014-11-01T12:18:28.950-04:002014-11-01T12:18:28.950-04:00I thought long and hard about Ike Davis but he did...I thought long and hard about Ike Davis but he did have that one commendable season.
