Hit and run guys from when I was a kid...
Jim Gilliam
Willie Davis
Dick Groat
Richie Allen
Pete Rose
Those guys could make contact if that's what they wanted, they could watch SS and 2B to see who was covering the bag, and they could run a ground ball through the vacated hole. Brings to mind a close quote of a fella that I considered to be about the best ballplayer... "There's not much to being a ballplayer, IF you're a ballplayer."
