Great answers, except Im not sure you could say, earlier in their careers about some, Lindman, Travis, etc those were pretty young and early in careers that didn't exactly stall after they moved on,
Stringer and Elich are interesting choices too, those two had strange carrers IMO, considering the talent they had.
In terms of guys who who were sheer class, but just slightly past their best, 3 stand out for me Hodge, Chasse and Salters.
