I was thinking of using him as a dh vs rhp. He has +600 slg on Diamonddope, with homer rolls on two 5s and a 10. Anybody having any success with him?

He's leading the "Real Team" Giants in home runs.

I did not know ***-ton Kutcher's dad played major league Baseball. Unless you get to hang with Demi Moore I would not use Kutcher. His card stinks! His OBP percentage is bad, and his fielding is bad.

Here is Kutcher in Fulton County. He is 2nd on the team in RBI's which is pretty good since he only starts vs RHP.

This is my first and only '86 team to date. My home stadium is Oakland Coliseum, a pitcher's park.

Kutcher has served as a backup to Frank White at 2B and has DHed. After 54 games (1/3 of the way through the season) his stats are as shown above. He's already exceeded his actual season HRs and RBIs in this replay and hasn't even reached 50% of his actual season ABs. Although he's a part time player, he's second on my team in RBIs (and the leaders have 26, but over twice the ABs).

I'd love it if he kept up this kind of productivity, but I'm not expecting it. However, it appears that RK is capable of producing power regardless of whether he's in a batter's park or a pitcher's park. Based on my limited experience, he is definitely well worth his $1.19 expense.

Updated one time, May 2, 2008. Not even halfway through the season, and Kutcher has 42 rbis as a back up player (my team leader has 44).

Howdy,

I remember when we moved to Shreveport and watched Randy Kutcher (talk about speed!), Dan Gladden and Scot Garrelts play for the Giants AA affiliate in '81.
Kutcher's lovely wife gave birth to a son named Kevin that Summer. I don't believe that he's related to the popular actor of the same last name.
