Kal Daniels #622

 

This week, one of the best hitters in the set never played in an All Star Game and sadly, couldn't stay on the field...it's Kal Daniels! Daniels had great speed, an amazing eye and could flat out hit, but his knees were a constant problem. His is another "what-if" scenario for the 80s Reds and Daniels was traded to the Dodgers. His career only lasted 7 seasons and he has since kept a low profile coaching youngsters in  Georgia.
