The anti-Shea Hillebrand

By Tangotiger

As a followup to my Frenchy/Shea thread, how about I give you, since 1993, who has been a plus player at all five categories I mentioned (strike zone, power, contact, speed, fielding). Basically, the five-tool players. Here they are, in no particular order:
Carlos Beltran
ARod
Chase Utley
Larry Walker
JD Drew
Ellis Burks
David Wright
Grady Sizemore
Hanley Ramirez
Jeff Bagwell
