Are you the real Kevin Seitzer?

[Kevin Seitzer]

I tried to think of something clever to say, but I couldn't come up with anything. The answer is no. Seitzer was my favorite player as a kid. I was really bummed when Mark McGwire "stole" the Rookie of the Year award from him. Didn't people realize how valuable Seitzer's defense was at third? But I digress.

I stand by my statement that I hit .300 during my employment tenure with Mr. Bud Selig. I have no further comment. The defense rests, Your Honor.

Nice, I was planning to ask that myself. I, too, was a huge Kevin Seitzer fan, and agree that he was robbed for ROY. I got to meet him once at an card show when he was signing autographs. I was pretty young and didn't realize you had to pay for EACH autograph, so I brought several items for him to sign. When I pointed out my error, rather than turning me away, he proceeded to sign all of the items. Not sure how many players would do this, although looking back I can't believe I paid anything, but I too digress.

Kevin Seitzer wasn't traded for Richie Sexson, but he was traded to Cleveland for Jeromy Burnitz.

I did. I was really ticked when Mark won the AL ROY over Seitzer.

Hey, wanna buy my Kevin Seitzer rookie cards? One's even autographed!

Okay, I'm not selling that one.

When exactly was Tim Wallach a rich man's anything????

[Funkley]

I tried to think of an above average 3B from the same time period and then divided by two for Seitzer. The answer was Wallach.

All star apperances Wallach 5 vs. Seitzer 2.

Homeruns per 162 Wallach 19 vs. Seitzer 8

Seitzer whoops Wallach in batting average though. .295 to .259 per 162.

Kevin Seitzer's no Hall of Famer. I know that. He had about four years of being a pretty good third baseman from 1987-90 plus a little bit of a last hurrah in 1995. I liked him because he hustled, was a good defender, and had good command of the strike zone. He seemed like an intelligent, hard-working player and nice guy. He never had enough power to be a real star. His 15 home runs in his rookie year was a career high.

Tim Wallach was a pretty good third baseman for about nine years, so yeah, I'll grant that he was better overall than Seitzer. I liked George Brett, too, but everybody liked George Brett. Seitzer was "my" favorite player.

Hey. I don't have the right to rip anyone's favorite player. Mine was Kent Hrbek.
