Topic: Ken Phelps


In the News (Mon 28 Dec 09)

  
  The Ballplayers - Ken Phelps | BaseballLibrary.com
Though Phelps was something of a defensive liability, playing just 115 games in the field in his eleven-year career, he became a respected pinch-hitter and designated hitter when he wasn't platooning at first.
Montreal sold the promising Phelps to his hometown Seattle Mariners in the offseason, and in 1983 the blossoming slugger hit.341 in the Pacific Coast League, inducing a mid-season call-up during which he connected for seven homers.
Phelps' power was well-suited to the hitter-happy Kingdome, but when he ironically began to receive publicity about being underpublicized, the Mariners shipped him to the power-hungry New York Yankees for Jay Buhner in July 1988, a deal the Bombers would come to regret.

 Baseball Prospectus | Articles | 2001 Ken Phelps All-Star Team
As the Mariners left-handed DH from 1986 until he was dealt to the Yankees in mid-1988, Phelps hit a robust.294/.415/.539.
The Phelpsers were an assemblage of players with skills that made them useful, but who were generally not given a fair opportunity to prove their worth in the majors or had been given unwarranted labels they couldn't shake.
However, he'll man the keystone for the Ken Phelps All-Stars because we want to get as much offense in the lineup as possible and outfielders who can hit are a dime a dozen.

 The Bull Pen - Phelps: Lost season or two month rebound?

Since the 2001 Ken Phelps All-Star Team is going to sacrifice leather for lumber in the outfield corners, it needs somebody in center field who can adequately field the position without dragging down the offense.
