 1982 Expos - BR Bullpen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
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.

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.
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.
In the base data set I used in my work on modeling player careers, there was one player who debuted in the majors with a horrible walk ratio but later evolved into a Hall of Famer with a decent walk rate.
