John Wathan, Ray Schalk and ????

Wasn't Bresnahan, only 11 games at catcher in 1903.... I can't find that third guy! All of which makes IROD so amazing in 1999. Steroid issues aside, a true 5-category catcher. The only one.... ever. [/QUOTE]Excuse me! John Stearns stole plenty of bases.

Too bad we don't have a 'Do-Over Machine' to see if his career would have been better with the Jets, not the Mets.

For someone who was knocking our pick of a guy with 88 K's, it would appear that you are employing a similar strategy
