Jeff Francoeur is the first guy that comes to mind for me (thanks Jon Bois). If he wasn't a great clubhouse guy and great defensively he probably would have been out of the league by year 3-4.

EDIT: LOL, I see you even mention him further down. As a Brewers fan I pray Keston Hiura can bounce back but I think he's going the way of Frenchy (minus the defense)
