 1982 Expos - BR Bullpen
Al Oliver would go on to have a brilliant season at the plate, winning the National League batting title with a.331 average, leading the league in runs batted in with 109, and adding 43 doubles and 22 home runs to the mix.
However, his fielding at first base was atrocious, as he committed 19 errors and displayed such as weak throwing arm that base runners quickly learned that, if they were picked off at first base, they just had to head for second as Oliver did not stand a chance of throwing them out.
Rookie Mike Gates was recalled from AAA to play second base and bat second, a lot of weight to put on the shoulders of a player who had one game of Major League experience and had never really been considered more than a potential utility player.

Mora was second in the American League with a.340 average and led the league with a.419 on-base percentage.

While Rivera was first in wins plus saves, fourth in strikeouts per walk ratio and fifth in ERA, he was 20th in relief appearances, 26th in innings and 26th in hits per nine innings.
That's why Politte, who held AL batters under.200 in 2002 and fanned one per inning, is rated where he is, and it's why Barry Zito remains second to Doc among AL pitchers.
Doc is also the recipient of the 2003 Satchel Paige Award for AL Pitcher of the Year, as chosen by the The NLBM (Negro Leagues Baseball Museum).

Certainly the greatest all-around catcher of the 1950’s in the AL and arguably the greatest major league backstop of all-time, Yogi was an elite among the elite at his position and one of the most beloved players ever.
A fine-fielding first baseman (he led the AL in putouts once and assists 3 times), “Double X” was surprisingly mobile for a big man and had a great arm.

 The Orioles Warehouse: Greatest O's: First Basemen
The Orioles have had some fine first basemen in their history, but the greatest of them all was indisputably Eddie Murray.
In his first twelve seasons in Baltimore (1977-1988), he was amazingly consistent with the bat.
The splits compiled by Retrosheet (complete up to 1993) back up this perception: Murray's on-base percentage and slugging percentage rose significantly in his plate appearances with men on base and with runners in scoring position, and he was absolutely lethal with the bases loaded.

As the winner of the National League Rolaids Relief Award in 1999, he established a big-league record for strikeouts per nine innings (14.95)--a mark since topped by Gagne (14.98) in 2003, a season some believe to be the best ever by a reliever.
Based on rate stats, Wagner is unquestionably one of the best active pitchers, left-handed relievers, and southpaws in the history of the game.
Not surprisingly, as analysts gained an appreciation for the value of the base on balls, the importance of the ability to draw a walk began to be applied in instances that may not be as appropriate.
