Belanger had 2 seasons over 270 which raised his anemic avg to the paltry 228 lifetime.

Loved him though.

I don't know that there was ever a better left side of the infield defensively than Belanger/Brooks Robinson. Ironically, the only two I can think of which might have come close played in the same era: Kessinger/Santo for the Cubs and Oyler/Wert for the Tigers.

As you probably know, Wert was almost as bad with the bat as Oyler. But he did have power.
