Rice's problem is he was really done as a great player after age 26, and was finished early. If he could have maintained that 77-79 level a few more years, he'd be right up there. He was still a great RBI guy cuz he had Boggs/Evans in front of him, but with his low OBP and humongous DPs he was making a shitton of outs -- 515 (!) in 1984.
