He was a very solid ball player for a long time.  Gone too soon.

Bummer. He was playing PCL AAA for Vancouver when we first moved to Vancouver, saw him play here a few games.

Definitely from the Hall of Very Good.   2,500+ hits, consistently on the field.   Interesting that BR has the most similar career to be Steve Garvey.

Amazingly, Pirates 1B Spencer Horowitz is a perfect 10 for 10 against Tampa pitcher Nick Martinez.

That field is only about 40 minutes from me. I should go watch a high school game there some day.

It goes back to when they played Kokomo the day Brian Wilson died.

I knew Nick Castellanos was a really bad defender, but I didn’t realize he was this bad: he ranks seventh in lowest defensive WAR of all time among players who have played at least 95% of their career games at defensive positions (i.e., not DH). And it doesn’t help that his OPS+ is the second worst on list that’s visible here.
