[Notorious T.R.E.]

4.11 - Mitchell Page, OF

Ugh, he strikes out a lot and plays crap defense, but he's mine. All mine.

Page showed poise with a promising career ahead of him when he batted .307 with 21 home runs and 75 runs batted in for the Oakland Athletics as a rookie in 1977. He finished second in voting for the American League's Rookie of the Year Award, narrowly losing to Eddie Murray by a few votes. However, Page never again matched his rookie season stats during another seven years of professional play.

Currently, Page is functioning as roving minor-league hitting instructor for the club while on a leave of absence from his position as the hitting coach for the Washington Nationals, a position he has been in since 2006, after serving as a roving minor-league hitting instructor for the club in 2005. Previously, he was hitting coach from 2002-2004 for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Page played the role of the Angels player, "Abascal," in the movie Angels in the Outfield.

Oops. Missed Koya taking another DH.

What's the deal with Bill Kenworthy? He shows up in 1st year, but it is not his actual first year that shows up.

His 1914 season is Federal League

Is he no good too? His 1933 season shows up on WIS, and on TRE sheets, but his baseball reference page shows a 1930 season.

I know, he was asking about his 1st real year, which was 1912 with the Washington Senators

No, you're good with 1933. Solid pick too, imo.

 

[the moops]

Am I winning yet?

My apologies, good sir.

about as solid as you can be and still be called Pinky

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Sounds like Pinky was kind of a ####.

Higgins was born in Red Oak, Texas. He was nicknamed "Pinky" as a baby, and according to some reports, detested the name. Alternatively, he was identified by each of his given names. He signed some autographs as Frank Higgins, but was predominantly known as Mike, especially later in his career. Red Sox historians often single out Higgins, along with Yawkey, when they discuss the root of the club's reputation for resisting racial integration. The Red Sox were the last of the then-16 major league teams to play an African American and fielded an all-white team from Jackie Robinson's debut in 1947 through Higgins' first managerial term. Higgins was quoted by one Boston baseball writer, the late Al Hirshberg, as saying, "There'll be no ######s on this ball club as long as I have anything to say about it."[4] He also reportedly called sportswriter Clif Keane "a ####### ###### lover"[5] upon hearing Keane praise the talents of outfielder Minnie Miñoso, a Cuban of African descent.The Red Sox' first African-American player, utility infielder Pumpsie Green, was recalled from the minor leagues in July 1959, during Jurges' brief tenure as pilot.However, Higgins had no control over the big league roster until he became Red Sox manager in 1955, and the club's hostility toward breaking the color line appeared to be in place well before then under Yawkey and his front office bosses, Eddie Collins and Joe Cronin.[6]When Higgins returned to his managerial post from mid-1960 through 1962, he managed an integrated roster, and did acquire a few nonwhite players (outfielders Roman Mejias, Lenny Green and Al Smith and infielders Felix Mantilla and Billy Harrell) during his GM tenure.

[Koya]

Morning #####es.

 

[Koya]

Btw what is the clock situation?

 

[Greco]

There was one?

 

[Koya]

Yesterday I thought we had a two hour clock beginning at 7AM posters' local time - which mean if it was an east coaster they had until 9 to make there pick. In the afternoon there was talk of a one hour clock though I dont think that was made official (yet).

Either way, what time zone is belljr in, so we can get this #### moving - it may already be on the second person.

 

[Greco]

I'm locked and loaded. I have a bunch of #### I'm blowing off so that I can make my four picks here on the turn. That's assuming we're going to turn this #####.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I should be near a computer all day and I have Hoos pick.

 

[Koya]

####, the commish anywhere to be seen? We should have at least one skip already.

[RnR]

belljr is a skip by now I believe, but he is in the thread.

 

[belljr]

yeah I'm here - looking for my pick

 

[belljr]

Evan Longoria = 2008 TB

I'm off work again today so I can check periodically, I'm much better when I'm at work

 

[RnR]

Who has the Hoos pick now?

 

[the moops]

Like bell, I also have the day off. I'm supposed to write a paper for a research class I am taking, but most likely I will get drunk and #### around instead. Anyone want to take my number and text me when I come up?

Good pick, I was considering him with my 4th or 5th rounder.We haven't done a whole lot of modern-era sims. How do modern players stack up with old timers in the sim?

 

[Koya]

Bout time there good buddy. With great power, comes great responsibility son.
