Excellent third baseman who won the 1997 National League Rookie of the Year. Rolen won seven Gold Gloves, at least one for three NL teams. In 2004 he had his career year, helping Cardinals to pennant when he finished fourth in NL Most Valuable Player voting. A very large man (he was 50 pounds heavier and two inches taller than Mike Schmidt), Rolen was athletic, redefining how a big athlete could play defense at the hot corner.
