Then why was he even on your proxy list sean? I know you think the game is all about defense, but you can live with out a 1 everywhere...can't you?

At least he's got some cards in which he could be an all star. I don't think he's a terrible pick necessarily. BA/SLG/OBP/AB/R/2B/HR/RBI

I don't have 1's everywhere, YF --- I have a 2e10 at 1B and a 3(0)7 in LF, and the other 6 are 1's ... that's hardly "everywhere" :wink:
BJ, thanks for the encouragement. I know he has some decent cards. I've used him twice, and both times hes' had good years.
Hopefully we can finish tonite and tomorrow. I'll keep my proxies set (even if I have players on there that I don't necessarily want) :lol:

Al Oliver Welcomes Another Chance
by Semper Gumby » Sat Mar 04, 2006 8:05 pm
CLEVELAND (ESPN) Bill Veeck announced that the Cleveland club has reached an agreement with Al "Scoop" Oliver.
Veeck told the packed press club at the Crazy Horse gentlemen's club that Oliver is the best kept secret in baseball. An eighteen-year major league veteran, with a lifetime batting average of .303, Oliver signed the agreement from his home in Portsmouth, Ohio.
With recent changes in the Hall of Fame voting process, Veeck told the press corps that Oliver will be back on the ballot in 2007 so this is Al's year to showcase his talents once more.
In the past 14 years, Oliver had been overlook by the Hall of Fame voters when received just 19 votes in 1991 despite a .303 lifetime average.
Veeck remarked that the voters are crazy to not put Oliver in Cooperstown as he is mong the top 50 in hits (2,743), total bases (4,083), RBI (1,326) extra base hits (825) and games played (2,368) at the time of his retirement.
Veeck also highlighted some of Oliver achievements:
[list:bbc24d0e2e]7-time All-Star (1972, 1975-76, 1980-83)
NL batting champion (1982)
Led NL in RBI, hits, extra bases and total bases (1982)
Led AL in games played (1980)
Twice led NL in doubles (1982-83)
8-time Top 10 MLB hitters (1975-82)
3-time Top 10 MVP (7th, 1972; 7th. 1974; 3rd, 1982)
First player to collect at least 200 hits and 100 RBI in a MLB season (1980, he repeated his feat in 1982)
Won Silver Slugger Award for three straight years, at three different positions[/list:u:bbc24d0e2e]
Oliver will likely play first base as well as work as the Bench Coach.
