Those Reds had a number of underrated players. Vada Pinson was one. Gordy Coleman was another. So was Johnny Edwards.

I guess Maloney had a chance to be a great pitcher. He threw close to 100 mph and had two 20 win seasons and two no-hitters in the 60s.
But he ruptured an achilles tendon in 1970 and was never the same basically ending his productive career at the age of 28 despite pitching several years after that with dismal results. A healthy Maloney might have helped Cincy beat the Yankees in the early seventies.
