I've never used him but am looking to give him a shot in Griffith with 3 hitters parks in division. Thanks beforehand.

Very little help I'm sure, but I've used him only once -- in Fenway 86 in a division with Fenway 67, Busch 87, and Yankee 39. The bad news is he led the league in errors (42). I batted him second, where it was all good news: led the league in sacrifice hits (32); fourth in doubles (49); seventh in triples (11); tenth in runs scored (114). He batted .310 with 13 HR and 65 RBI, stole 13 bases.

Of course as you know, Fenway 86 ain't Griffith!

It is only 1/3 of the way thru the season but he is putting up decent numbers at Candlestick. I have him playing 3rd not ss.

I've only used him twice--both at third. Here is the more recent partial numbers (only 96 games in) at Dodger '65 batting #2.

.288 Avg./489 Slug/.343 Obp with 23 doubles 5 triples 17 home runs 8 stolen bases and 21 errors.

Except for the errors, if he keeps that pace up in an extreme pitchers park like Dodger--I'd be content.

He did this for me recently in Wrigley '29. He's not always this good, but he's always hit .290+. 18-25 dingers, 80+ RBIs and 15-25 SBs

AB R 2B HR RBI BB SB E AVG SLG OBP
646 109 43 31 144 43 20 40 .319 .545 .361

I am happy to see these numbers as he will be my 3B in a theme league that starts soon! 8)

Through 99 games at Forbes in the Barnstormers...about 12 games out with injury...

Thanks everybody. I'm convinced he's worth taking a chance on. I'll be using him at 3B where he probably won't boot the ball any more than Weaver does. Much appreciated! :)
