New Arrival: Joe Morgan, 2b, Cincinnati Reds
…
Hall of Fame second baseman Joe Morgan was good. When Morgan was at the top of his peak, from 1972-1977, he carried a .429 OBP and averaged 22 HR a season. And, the icing on the cake, was that he was a Gold Glove defensive second baseman. And remember this was all in the 70’s, when middle infielders were not known for their offensive contributions.

All told, Morgan would be selected to 10 All-Star teams, win five Gold Gloves, one Silver Slugger, and win back-to-back MVP awards. He would amass 100 career WAR, which puts him 31st all-time. He is also the only player to win back-to-back MVP awards at the same time as winning back-to-back World Series.
