Troy Tulowitzki was once one of the great shortstops of the game.
Through nine seasons (2008-2016), Tulowitzki amassed 38.2 fWAR, had a whopping 93 defensive runs saved and only finished below average at the plate in one season: his 2008 debut.
One of those seasons included a 5.2 fWAR-performance in 2014 while only logging 375 plate appearances in 91 games.
In that time, his accolades included five All-Star appearances and two Gold Gloves.
His career trajectory seemed to have him destined for Cooperstown.
Then came the injuries.
Tulo’s 2017 was riddled with various ailments, including problems with his hamstring, groin and ankles.
