Royce Clayton wasn’t only a standout shortstop in from the Bay Area in real life, he played Miguel Tejada in 2011’s Moneyball. That versatility extended from his 17-year playing career and made him one of the best shortstops in Rockies history. Even if that was just for a season in 2004.
Clayton came to the Rockies late in his career when he was 34. He played in the majority of games that season where he was a standout in what was otherwise a forgettable season. Clayton batted .279 and scored 95 runs proving he could be an effective table setter.
