Kirby Puckett

[RICHARDMILTER]

Why does Puckett(1986)always seem to way under perform for his card. I have him in with Three Rivers as my stadium and he is not doing well. Has anyone gotten really good production out of him? Has anyone(else) gotten really bad production out of him? Thank you for any replies.

Since I posted this, Pucket has come around. He is presently doing well in this league.

Here's a couple of his seasons (not on my team but in leagues I played in)

.288/.325/.465 (26 HR, 108 RBI)

.275/.307/.465 (26 HR, 112 RBI)

.294/.325/.528 (38 HR, 114 RBI)


Pretty amazing how similar the numbers are. This is for 3 full seasons so it is a pretty good track record. You are definitely right, he under performs his numbers.

SToNe WaLLeD,
Thanks for the input. You have confirmed what others have said to me.

Here he won the MVP for me:

Played in Olympic, a total Pitcher's park, and had a monster year...

That is what I love about pre-steroid baseball; a guy can hit 32 homers with 99 RBI and win MVP. I remember when Jim Rice would hit 35 to 40 homers every year and be among the leaders, if not the HR champ. Baseball was more pure. Speed and fielding mattered more. Thankfully we are getting back to that. No more juiced players,balls, or bats!

My favorite guy on that team was Jay Howell. He was on my team the whole year, yet managed only 3.1 innings pitched!!! They were three plus memorable innings since he somehow managed to save 4 games and lose one in his limited playing time.

20 dingers out of Tim Laudner in 260 ABs in Olympic was pretty sweet too. :)
