Now that was a 1950’s Hee Man Save!

Javier was a good player for us but I don't think he ever played infield. David, David, David, David, David........ In 17 years he played 1513 games in to OF. 38 at 1B 15 as DH 3 at 2B 2 at 3B smh...........................so I guess he was a shortstop :P Oh, but he did play 3 games at 1B for the M...

His exit velocity and launch angle were things to behold.

He had a career WAR of 5.1 which doesn't really jump out at you, but he was really good as a utility player, maybe our second-best ever after Mark McLemore. I’d put Stan Javier in that list too. Gillick didn’t have stellar drafts or trades, where he most excelled was in picking up solid free agents...

Another Amaral type, old Henry Cotto, same kind of player!

Great base stealing pct!

Had over 300 at bats in 1996, hit .292 with 25 stolen bases! The Throwback, a 50’s type, unheralded, unselfish player. Before I reti...

Good one! Though he only had some 350 plate appearances.

The greater the number of at bats, the higher the honor.

Kratz had over 900, hence greater failure!

If Blanco was any stiffer he'd be a stiff. I remember. Hey, how does one get into the Successful Failure Club? Haven’t yet come up with strict criteria, I know em when I see em! After his last year’s 2 rbi’s in over a hundred at bats, gotta say, Andrew Romine’s knockin down the doors. At the very l...

YIKES! On the 2nd page of the game thread and no lineup posted. For shame. For shame. It's dt's thread but you can't read a book without a cover! Mike Leake (R) J.A. Happ (L) 1. Dee Gordon (L) 2B 2.
