I don't recall Sizemore having much hype at all until about 2007 or so when people said he was one of the best young players, which he was. But he was always a long shot at having a HOF type of career. Was never on track for either 3000 hits or 500 homers, just a good all-around power/speed combination, with a startling number of strikeouts for a leadoff hitter. In the end, he got seriously injured a couple times, which I don't think is the same as not being able to perform at the highest level. And, supposedly, he's looking to make a comeback this year, which would be sweet.
