Hit #2,000 for Horah!

The El Paso Dawgs 30-year old veteran star Curtis Horah collected his 2,000th hit in Saturday's win over the Washington Night Train. While Horah is particularly renowned as the greatest defensive player of his generation it has to be noted that he has put together a pretty solid career as a hitter as well and when combined with his defensive prowess and the damage he can do with his speed on the base paths the hard working native of El Cajon, California has accounted for 84 WAR over his 12+ year career thus far.

There are serious questions about how Horah will fare now that he is in his 30's, given that he has suffered many injuries over his career and most insiders feel that in spite of the fact that he still runs extremely well and remains a superb left fielder his body is bound to let him down before too long. Still, with his career ZR of +312.6, his 400 career doubles and 372 career stolen bases, his 11 Gold Glove awards and 8 All-Star selections, he is a likely Hall of Famer even without a great deal of production in his future. And given that he is on pace for 4.8 WAR this season, it doesn't appear he's done adding to this HOF credentials quite yet.
