I think his time with the Rockies before they started humidifying the balls is a huge knock against him. I think he still has a chance but his home/away splits those seasons are pretty crazy.I'm gonna go for Larry Walker for most fucked over guy on that list. He won 3 batting titles, was home run king once, led the national league in assists 3 times, has a lifetime .313 average and hit almost 400 home runs. I'll admit to a bit of bias being Canadian myself too, but the guy should be in.

He hit .381 at Coors. 1.170 OPS. That's wild. I'll see if I can find the actual splits again later.Got a link to a site I could see the home/away stats on? I checked a couple but it wasn't obvious and I would be interested to see those numbers. Thin air or not he hit .379 one year and the year he was home run king he also hit .366, man knew how to swing a bat. Tony Gwynn was also in his prime those years he won the batting titles.
Larry Walker Career Batting Splits | Baseball-Reference.com
Total career he was a 1.068 OPS hitter at Home & a .865 hitter on the road. That's a massive split. Dude was a stud though.
Walker was also a really good all-around player as well, above-average defender, good baserunner etc. Hopefully he'll start trending up.
But the Coors Field thing is definitely hurting him. Which is a shame.
