Even if you plan better than anybody, a lot of things still have to go right to win a championship, and a lot of things did. Not only did Darryl Strawberry not tear his thumb on a dive and Mookie Wilson not shatter glasses into his eyeball, but more than a few unexpected players stepped up their game and became key contributors.
A reminder of Centerfield's criteria:
Here are the rules. 1. It must be someone who is not on anyone's reasonable radar for this year. So "I think this is the year Michael Conforto puts it all together" is not an acceptable answer. Neither are top prospects on the doorstep that we expect/hope will contribute. So Peter Alonso, get the fuck outta here. The more obscure the better. 2. Contributions must be made at the Major League level. It's fine if you think Simeon Woods-Richardson will catapult to the top of Keith Law's list, but unless he makes contributions in 2019 as a Met, it doesn't count. Feel free to start your own "Dark Horse Prospect" thread. 3. I'm ok with former top prospects who have fallen from grace. So, if a few years ago, you said Dominic Smith, you would have been disqualified. But with all the 1B options now, and Dom basically an afterthought, he's an ok pick. So is former to prospect Bill Pulsipher, if you're inclined to go that route. |
So who is your 1986 Dark Horse?
