And seems odd to me that Mickey Lolich and Ozzie Smith were teammates on the 1978 Padres.

1976 draft.  Tigers select Trammell in the 2nd round.    Ozzie in the 7th round.   

Ozzie didn't sign but I've often wondered if we might have ended up with Tram at 3rd, Ozzie at SS, Lou at 2nd.......

I think Tram and Lou would have flipped positions—Whitaker had a howitzer that would have played at 3B

Yeah, I’ve wondered that, too.  Or does Whitaker go to 3B and Trammell to 2B?  Didn’t Whitaker start with the Tiger organization as a 3B and then was moved to 2B?  I know later in his career he was going to move to 3B for some 2B prospect that was never to be.
