judson hamlinback when this thread was first active, I started looking at the guys who were regulars in '08 to '09 that got shut out of T206. The batters who got the short end of the stick seem to be:
Altizer (Was/Cle/Chi(a))
Storke (Pitt/StL(n))
R. Thomas (Phil(n)/Pitt/Bos(n)) covered by the Ted Z theory
Hartzell (StL(a))
McConnell (Bos(a))
Gessler (Bos(a)/Wash)
Grant (Phil(n)) see Thomas
The above players all played as starters in '08 and all played in at least 80 games in '09
The next group also should have felt left out:
Austin (NY(a))
McMillan (Bro)
Clement (Phil(a))
Shean (Phil(n)/Bos(n)
Lelivelt (Wash)
Bemis (Cle)
All of this group were regulars in '09, getting their first full time gigs (except Bemis, who was a reliable #2 catcher for a few years).
Next time I get some time, I'll throw the pitchers out there.
