Who were the biggest one-hit wonders...in recent memory?

Question

Can you say Clay Bucholz?(Someone has to tell me how to spell that)

I"d probably say Anibal Sanchez too although for both of them, it may be a bit early to start judging.

Biggest one-hit wonder has to be Javy Lopez who had that one monster season(40-50 homers) then never did anything again

I guess I'll add Huston Street too although I don't think he's that bad

Answer 1

Brady Anderson, not including the 1996 season he only hit 20+ HR's twice in his 15 year career and never broke the 85 RBI mark.  

In 1996 his stats looked like this

.297 BA, 50 HR's, 110 RBI's

His average season looked like this.

.256 BA, 19 HR's, 67 RBI's

I didn't steal my answer from Joba Chamberlain.  When I saw this question he immediately popped in my head. I just decided to research it a little bit.

Answer 2

Brady anderson- Remember when he hit 50 out of the blue one year?

carl pavano- One good season in 04, done nothing since

Answer 3

Wasn't really big but Ramon Nivar. He had a okay year for Texas..from what I can remember..this was maybe 6 years ago..looked decent..then didnt do anything.

Answer 4

The King - Brady Anderson. There's no way on Gods' green earth he wasn't juicing the year he hit 50 home runs.

Answer 5

I have several, first being Joltin' Joe Charboneau with the 80's Indians, and second Shane Spencer with the Yankees, and the latest being Hank (I used to be good) Blalock with the Rangers--he hasn't done a thing since the home run off of Eric Gagne in the All Star game.

Answer 6

unfortianatly i knew him him when i was like 5 but Jeff Alison poor kid i hope things go right for him

Answer 7

It's definitely Richard Hidalgo!  From the 2001 season:

his stats that year were:

Games played: 153  

Runs scored:    118

Home runs:        44  

RBI:                 122  

Batting avg:       .314  

Stolen Bases:   13

....A Carl Yazstremski triple crown type season.   But after '01 he was basically total c**p & has been out of baseball for 3 years.  Ohhh where have you gone Richard?

Answer 8

Jeff Franceour is doing absolutely nothing.

Barry Zito.

Dontrelle Willis (has been in single A all year long)

Answer 10

Answer 11

CC Sabathia "NO HITTER"

Answer 12

Johnny Cueto. He had 1 good start this year, now he's just average.
