World Fucking Champion 2008 Phillies had a few of these guys - Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, and Jimmy Rollins.

Howard's prime is bonkers - HR and RBI totals that were on par with Babe Ruth. Unfortunately he got a relatively late start to his career and his career fell off a cliff after the Achilles injury. The career numbers just aren't there due to the lack of longevity.

Utley was the best hitting 2B in baseball for a period but again end of career raw numbers aren't there.

Of the three, I think Rollins has the best HOF case and should get in eventually.
