Leveraged an Evansville AAA hot streak in 1977 into 1200 MLB PAs with a slash line of .270 .349 .355 .704 ... if you are a singles hitter, you gotta hit .320.

Depends on if he's some top defensive player, like a SS.

Always in Sparky's doghouse.
Become a HR threat after he left Detroit.

Oh I know. I was just saying if he was a SS than his numbers might be alright. I guess I didn't make myself clear.

Damn, he was one of my favorites. Seemed like you could always count on him for whatever you needed at any point in the game.

Apparently, his stats are OK because he was a bottom of the order hitter. Position had no bearing, just where you hit in the lineup.

Career 1.409 WHIP and has an outlier season in '81 ... .959 WHIP that was elevated by a 3.9 BB/9 that season. A "bit" of a "character."
His best days were a HR, popup out, and 3 strikeouts.
In '91, Deer had more XBH (41) than singles (39), and nearly had more strikeouts (175) than batting average points (.179).
Also, this guy, with velocity in the upper tiers for a windmill softball pitcher:

He was so good when he had so much speed in his early days. Still managed a long career after his injury. Not common back then.
I always liked him when he was here. He had to pitch vs. throw, and was pretty good at it.
