Sometimes I think Aubrey Huff was pretty underappreciated. Go ahead; click on his name and take a look at his career stats. I’ll wait. (Let’s try to avoid thinking about his terrible, terrible tweets over the last few weeks.)
Pretty good, huh? He finished his career with a 114 OPS+: 14% better than league average. Anyway, in 2008, playing for the Baltimore Orioles, Aubrey hit .304/.360/.552 in 598 at-bats, with 96 runs, 108 RBIs, 48 doubles, 32 home runs, and an excellent 53/89 BB/K ratio. He ended the season with a 137 OPS+, won a Silver Slugger award, and finished 16th in MVP voting. He is listed with 4.1 WAR. By OPS+, it was his third best season in his career.
