Lenny Dykstra or Andy Van Slyke
Which one of these 1980s CFs would you rather have?

Van Slyke - Nails was probably juiced.

i would have thought Van Slyke, but the numbers say Dykstra. It's close on career numbers but on five year peak it is Dykstra 167 to 101 in RCAA. Dykstra has him on OWP .639 to .601. That's pretty big.

Nails for peak, Van Slyke for career.
I think both of these guys could have had much better careers than they ended up having. |

I'd take Nails for one season, and one season only. Otherwise, he was more trouble than he was worth.
Andy was better over his career IMO. |

Give me Van Slyke. And his 1988 was better than Dykstra's 1993.

Van Slyke
It's very close between them (I think Van Slyke was better) but after you account for the A--hole factor, it's Van Slyke in a runaway
