Last major league appearance is the determining factor. Robb Nen has been under contract and rehabbing since the 2003 cutoff date but he was drafted earlier. Rickey Henderson played in the minors as recently as 2005 but was still inducted to the Hall this year based on his last MLB game.

 

[Doug B]

Rickey Henderson played in the minors as recently as 2005 but was still inducted to the Hall this year based on his last MLB game.

IIRC, that 2005 stint wasn't even in the MLB minor league system ... wasn't it an independent minor league?

won't press it, since it's not really a big deal. though i would bet that Spooneybarger hasn't seen his last MLB appearance yet.

Six seasons is a long time to be out, though -- what's keeping him in the minors?

Are you sure? Because this sounds even better than the original dumptruck you discribed.

not sure. he was only 23 in 2003. just looked him up. he's had two TJ surgeries. Was in low-A last season trying to work his way back up. Maybe he's done.

His right elbow. Last sighting was July of this year when the Pensacola Pelicans announced he was on staff at the Pelicans Training Academy http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/r...es/?id=3855235#.

Too bad, the guy couldn't catch a break. His cookie season has the biggest difference between ERA (4.07) and ERC (1.55) I've ever seen. His bullpen mates must have let almost every inherited baserunner score.

After catching up I now need to find about 250 PAs at catcher and about 100 PAs for my bench.

I have a team OBP of .443 and B/B defense.

My pitching isnt great but I have 4 starters and 6 relievers with a WHIP of .93 and a HR/9 of 0.18.

I am ready to compete.

Actually for one of my teams that is really low. Considering all my pitchers pitched between 1952 and 1988 I figure .5 is more than acceptable especially playing in Comerica. Or they could all really suck, who knows.
