Harmon Killebrew was signed under the then “Bonus Rule” meaning that the 18 year old had to spend two full seasons in the Majors before he was essentially ready.  The Washington Senators would then take their time developing the budding power hitter, and they were right to do so.  “The Killer” was clearly worth the wait.

There is no question that Rod Carew was one of the best hitters in baseball…period.  The Panamanian born player would win seven Batting Titles as a member of the Minnesota Twins and other than his first two seasons (the first of which he was the Rookie of the Year), he would bat over .300 in every season he was a Twin.

“The Big Train”, Walter Johnson is not just the greatest Pitcher in Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins history.  He has a case as the greatest Pitcher of all time.

Johnson only played for the Washington Senators and his accomplishments are earth shattering:

Norman Powell was taken by Milwaukee (who traded him to Toronto) in the 2nd Round in 2015 after a good college career at UCLA.  Powell would earn decent playing time early in his career, mostly playing off of the bench, but was efficient in that role, which was his first four seasons.  "Stormin" Norman was clearly due for more playing time, and he was a nice cog in the puzzle that won the 2019 NBA Championship.

Following the title win, Powell moved into a starting role at Shooting Guard.  Powell, who had never averaged 10 Points per Game in a season, blossomed in the role, improving to 16 PPG, and raising his True Shooting Percentage to over .600.  He was doing even better in 2020-21, averaging 17.7 Points per Game, but the struggling Raptors traded Powell to Portland.
