Real scary hitters there...
George Foster comparable player age 23: Jim Gosger
Matt Williams: Pedro Garcia
Joe Carter: Jeffrey Hammonds
Jermaine Dye: Lee Walls
Paul Konerko: Bernie Carbo
Edgar Martinez(Borderline HOFer career .933 OPS), age 28: Dave Stapleton, career OPS .707. I'm pretty sure this is the first time Dave Stapleton has been mentioned in the same sentence as Edgar Martinez.
