Players that were once great but now forgotten

How about Jonathan Broxton?

This guy was heralded one time as one of THE most dominant closers outside of Mariano Rivera.....and now, it's a joke anytime someone mentions his name as being part of their end-of-game bullpen.

Kevin Millwood?

I don't know that Kevin Millwood was ever great. He had a couple of career seasons that he was never able to come close to duplicating in consecutive years.

Dale Murphy, Don Mattingly, Will Clark. Three Guys who were Superstars for a Few Seasons but didn't have enough Great Years to Make it to Cooperstown.

Juan Gone, Joe Carter (game winning WS HR), Larry Walker, Carlos Delgado, Gary Gaetti (?) can't believe how good he was until you look at his numbers those few years, Moises Alou and can never forget Reggie Sanders (305 - HR's and 304 - SB's)!
