My Take
What I admire about Dean Palmer is the quiet durability of his career. Fourteen seasons at the hot corner across the Rangers, Royals, and Tigers is no accident, even if he never became a household name. That 1991 minor league home run title, 22 bombs in just 60 games, tells you everything about his ceiling as a pure power threat. To me he represents a certain kind of ballplayer I genuinely respect: not a flashy superstar, but a reliable slugger who committed fully to his swing and made every limited at-bat count for something dangerous.
