Still gotta get #4 on runs, Ed.

#4 on the career list is a guy who, when you look at him, doesn't exactly inspire the word "run".

 On the OPS, I had posted

Killer
Mauer
Mack
Carew
Oliva

The answer was
Killer
Mauer
Mack
Hrbek
Morneau

I  asked Matt about the adjusted OPS+

The list is then

Killer
Carew
Oliva
Mack
Mauer

My question is still out there.....why did Shane Mack sign a contract to play in Japan?????

Just a blind thought.

Status: offline 		All I remember about Shane Mack leaving is that he went to Japan after his best year here.

he was selected in the Rule 5 Draft by the Minnesota Twins where he starred from 1990-1994. Notably, he was a key component of the Twins' 1991 World Series championship team. In 1992 Mack had his best year, hitting .315 (fifth in the American League), scoring 75 runs (seventh in the AL), stealing 24 bases, driving in 75 runs, and hitting 16 home runs.
After a three-year contract playing in Japan for the Yomiuri Giants (1994-1997), he returned to the United States to play ball for the Boston Red Sox in the 1997 season. Mack played for the Oakland Athletics and the Kansas City Royals in 1998 before retiring.

YEAR   PA   HR  BA    OBP   SLG
1990   313   8   326   392   460
1991   442  18  310   363   529
1992   600  16  315   394   467
1993   503  10  276   335   412
1994   303  15  333   402   564

 Thanks Todd for the info.....I still don't understand why he left and signed with Japan....I wonder if the Twins made a counter offer.

The Twins have dug deep to counter offers when it has involved key players they want to retain........Puckett, Hrbek, Mauer and Morneau (I know...before FA for the last two).

I wonder how the Twins viewed Mack when he left.....he compiled awesome numbers for the team and left when he was in his prime.  What did they (the Twins) do to try and retain Mack?

Did the Twins trade Bert to the Rangers ?

I recall the Tribune had a picture of Bert flipping off the crownd at the Met
as he walked off the mound after one of his last starts for the Twins.
(He was getting booed pretty hard and reacted)

Good guess, but not right.

I thought that was when he left Cleveland.

Maybe he did it there as well.

I am 99% sure he flipped off the crowd as a Twin.

If he hadn't been shot and killed, they probably could.
