The Chicago Cubs have had many second basemen I’ve seen in my lifetime. Well, from 1982 through 1997. This touched off a series of small ‘series of blocks’ of second basemen. I wanted to stick with four years or more–excluding two-year players or less. Which honestly were pretty good–just not long enough.
One player was Mark Grudzielanek. He had a successful time–albeit short–in Chicago. He had a slash line of .312/.360/.421 with a .781 OPS, and an OPS+ of 102–the highest of his career. He only had nine home runs and 50 knocked in, but he was a workhorse on the field.
