judging from bbref, he was on his way to being a good player and got hurt in '71

should fit in with the '70s Dodgers in large cap franchise leagues as a DH or UT.


forewarned - gonna start agitating for a Billy Buck who hits .300 next ballot. that card of his from the '86 RSox does not do him justice.

I'd love to see the Billy Buck card when he was a 1 in LF! :)


Does his 1b rating change when Mookie Wilson is at bat?

He was a + arm for sure. He actually developed a staff infection in his ankle in 1976, that was the offseason he was traded to the Cubs along with Ivan DeJesus for Rick Monday. The Cubs moved Buck to 1b to make it easier on his ankle.

Billy Grabarkewitz's card got ripped off! Running 1-14? He stole 19 bases!! Dustin Pedroia 2008 was 20-1 stealing and he is also only 1-14 on the paths! They should have been at least 1-15. Billy's actual 1970 card was much better.
