Honestly, I think you can add pretty much any right-handed batter's name here.

The better question might be to name a right-handed batter doesn't routinely disappoint.

1919 Gavvy Cravath... Doesn't matter the cap.
2020 Ke'Bryan Hayes has also been solid for my at a variety of caps.
1886 Dan Brouthers
Almost any Rogers Hornsby, Jimmie Foxx, Ed Delahanty, or Honus Wagner
1887 King Kelly
1899 & 1902 Nap Lajoie
2017 JD Martinez
1994 Tony Gwynn
1921 & 23 Harry Heilmann
1885 Pete Browning
1902 Charlie Hickman


Sweet- thanks- some there I have not used but will try. Gywnn is a lefty. I've been disappointed by Heilmann and some of the mid-priced Hornsbys..
Whoops! Good call on Gwynn!

These are supposed to be disappointing guys. I agree with Gwynn, have seldom seen him do well...same goes for most of Rickey Hendersons seasons. Hornsby never disappoints.
I just used Gwynn in a $80m league with you pick AAA and he led the league in AVG, OBP, RC, RC27, and was 2nd in SLG. I've only used him two other times, at $90m and $110m, respectively, and in both cases he performed exceptionally well for me.

1919 Cravath is a staple on every team I make rules allowed.

Other RH hitters than have routinely excelled are 1969 Carl Taylor, 1886-1887 Fred Carrol, 1984 Juan Samuel are always solid for me, and while it's early, 2021 Vlad, 2021 JMart, and 2021 Byron Buxton are off to fantastic starts
