Nomination Ideas----HiTTERS WITH NO CARDS

2022 Jeff McNeil NYM 2b-2 e5 LF 3 e4 (+1) RF 3 e4 3b4 e14 .326/.382/.454

Won the batting title this year and would give the Mets another solid 2b option.

Ed Kirkpatrick, with the inaugural KC Royals 1969 season, or the 1972 season. OPS+ both seasons exceeded 100. During the '69 season, he played every non-pitcher position except for shortstop.

I nominated '69 Spanky Kirkpatrick for the 22.1 add. He got only 14 votes and 1%.

Still think he'd be a fun add, if only for his versatility, platoonability, and the fact he has no card from a 16-year career.

Chico Ruiz, journeyman infielder for the Cincinnati Reds and the California Angels in the 60s.

Interesting trivia.. Ruiz's steal of home in the Reds/Phillies game of 9/21/1964 was the only run of the ballgame, leading to a Reds victory and which was the beginning of the Phillies late season collapse.

He is also the only player ever to pinch hit for Johnny Bench.

His '68 season is probably the best. https://www.baseball-reference.com/play ... ch01.shtml
