Platoon player deluxe....especially early on
in his first three of 10 MLB season....exited out of 1972 season posting a .327
BA in 600+ at bats....thereafter a mixed bag....some slightly above par seasons
but only a shadow of what once was.....from 1972 on career BA dropped 40 points
to .277 terminus circa 1979....line drive hitter leaving home runs few and far
between....five in over 2500 at bats...oddly enough hit a home run and triple
in 15 at bats during 1971 playoffs....no singles or doubles....after an unsuccessful
stint with the Mets 1975 (.228) traded to Texas where he posted career highs
for games, at bats and comebackish .276 BA....next year in Cubbieland set personal bests in RBIs and belted three
homers in nearly one half of the playing time in Texas....plus raising his
hitting by 16 points....played one more full season in Chicago and handful of
games in 1980.
