Brian Dozier

What strikes me about Brian Dozier is how he turned an eighth-round draft pick into a genuine major-league career. Coming out of Southern Mississippi, he wasn't a can't-miss prospect, yet he made his debut with the Twins in 2012 and grew into an All-Star second baseman by 2015, then added a Gold Glove in 2017. I respect that arc more than I do raw pedigree. Bouncing through the Dodgers, Nationals, and Mets in the back half of his career, he reads to me as a grinder who maximized what he had. That kind of self-made consistency tends to age well in my memory.
