#747 Jim Stewart

In the world of utility players…This guy was consistently described as Infielder-Outfielder in four out seven cards in his career….Full body photograph was rare for position players…Started in Cubs system and was a regular in 1964 but could not stick to regular duty…Spent all of 1968 in the minors which made him eligible for rule 5 draft…Offensive numbers in Hawaii were mediocore Probably benefited from the increased demand for player by the 1969 expansion...Picked by Cincy who in turn was required to keep him for the season…responded by hitting .253 which kept him in the bigs for next several years… the only time he was acquired by trade was in Joe Morgan blockbuster..Jim did play every position but pitcher.
