Would any GM in their right mind pursue and sign Nellie Fox today?

Without googling I bet no one can name the four players who struck out more in one season than Nellie did in 19 seasons.

I'll go out on a limb and say all 4 players accomplished this amazing feat in the last 10 years or so.

I'm going to guess, Chris Davis, Adam Dunn and probably a couple other guys I wouldn't suspect.

I feel the game is so radically different, today, than of that era. However for the sake of the question, Nellie Fox would be very highly paid in todays game. Very good contact/gap hitter, with solid speed and elite defense is handsomely awarded in really any era.

And to answer I would wager

Schwarber
Chris Davis
Adam Dunn
Mark Reynolds

Boston may be a possibility for him to go, as his buddy Yoshida plays there. If he moves at all, I’d bet he settles on a west coast team.

Reynolds is #1, but Schwarber is not #4.

Deer is a good choice, but incorrect.

I thought it might be Dave Kingman. Lots of home runs but also lots of Ks!
