Without some kind of post season heroics from him his legacy won't be seen quite as good as many others throughout history. It's post season heroics that really cement players legacies in the long term.. He'll be seen as one of the all time great regular season players, but post season legacy has yet to be written.
He hasn’t really stood out in the playoffs and has looked horrible in the AllStar Games until his one Dinger last year. Many fans claim that he’s easily the best hitter that the Reds have ever had. I don’t agree with that. He’s easily the best OBP player that the Reds have ever had. I don’t think that he’s the most valuable player that the Reds have ever had either. I think that his Career number averages will continue to fall over the rest of his career. I think that after he passes a few more milestones that he will probably end up a Hall Of Famer. That Career OBP is just so good.
