Barbie, in the 70s the shortstops were almost all horrendous offensive players, and also most were competent fielders. He is ranked #41 among the SOM 70s shortstops defensively. Offensively, he's better than most in batting average, but doesn't draw many walks or have any power. He's just not a good option for most situations. I don't even think I've seen him playing for other teams in the leagues I've been in...he's just a wallflower. You're better off taking a scrub hitter who can catch the ball (there are 17 less expensive shortstops with MUCH better gloves, and another 15 less expensive ones with marginally better gloves) and applying the $$ you save somewhere else.
