His best season was 1931. His slash line was .280/.376/.416 with a wOBA of .367. His average was his 4th highest, his on-base percentage was his 4th highest, his slugging percentage was his 3rd highest, and his wOBA was his 4th highest. He didn't get a single MVP vote though in 1931. He was a solid overall player both in defense and on offense. Finishing as high as 10th place in RBI's in 1931, 1st in stolen bases in 1936, 4th in times on base in 1936, 1st in Assists in 1936, 1st place twice in putouts (1936 and 1937), 2nd in range factor in 1935, and 1st in fielding percentage in 1934. Overall, a pretty solid player would rank higher if he played longer than 12 seasons. I wonder if he joined in World War II or was ever approached to play during wartime baseball as he was only 34 in 1940. He may have been a good enough player to play then.
