ODDIBE just makes my day.

How many relieving Worrells are there?

Top Comps: Frank Duffy

shudder

I hated* Frank Duffy. Maybe it's because he made 7 errors in 19 starts at SS for Boston in 1978, or that he could never, ever hit. Perhaps it was because any start by Duffy in 1978 was a sign that a far superior player was still injured. I was 8 years old, but I knew crap when I saw it.

Mentioning Bucky Dent won't get a rise out of me. Mention Frank Duffy and I start seething.

* As a player. I'm sure he's a fine human being.

How many relieving Worrells are there?

All of them except for Bernie.

This one's not related. He throw's side-armish to righties and over the top to lefties. Enjoy.

How do you think Giants fans felt about him?

Is there any chance that you could provide links to players bb-ref.com pages? I like to look at the stats and see players' ages. It isn't much of an inconveniece with "search google" plugin but links would save one click. I would understand if it is too much of a nuisance for you.

After his first two appearances in the majors, covering three innings, Mark Worrell had a 0.00 ERA and a 5.000 OPS. Talk about peaking early.

Just to ask, because I don't know, are the ZIPS quoted here based on the players' new ballparks or their old ones?

Thanks, Brock Hanke

New parks!

how is greene a great defender? from UZR to dewan . . . i just do not see him being rated as, at best, average. is there something these metrics are missing?

Greene's probably an above-average defender if fully healthy. The problem is that he has seldom been 100% in his MLB career.
