Who am I?

[Steve J. Rogers]

#438 A rash of injuries open up a spot for me to make my MLB debut on the big stage in October post-season baseball.

Sadly I didn't make a lasting impression as I never made made it back to the bigs. To my knowledge I'm the only player in MLB history to get into a postseason game yet never play in a regular season game. Who am I?

You are infielder Mark Kiger of the 2006 Oakland Athletics. Who played all of two games that postseason, and never did play in a regular season game.

[Yankee Tripper]

Good job. 2 games and zero PAs.

[JL25and3]

Totally missed the question sorry. But now that yo've given away 436, 437 has got to be Paul Konerko.

Which makes the list of Worst Dodger trades according to Dodger Blues. http://www.dodgerblues.com/content/features_trades.html

do'h I should have scrolled past your pictures. :headsmack:

If that list went back to Brooklyn, they could include:

1954 - Leaving Roberto Clemente unprotected in the Rule 5 draft.

In arguably my best season (but not my best season according to the MVP voters), I am the only player ever with at least 150 RBI and an OPS below .900 in a season.

In my rookie season, I had the most RBI of anybody who wasn't in the top five on his team in RBI. My last two career RBI were with the Yankees.

Are you Terrence Long?

[EvanJ]

Are you Terrence Long?

Yes I am.

[EvanJ]

In three consecutive seasons, I had the season with my only career wins, no games in MLB the next season, and I pitched for an MLB expansion team the year after that.

Joe Klink

[Dave Visbeck]

Joe Klink

Must be the right answer.

[EvanJ]

Must be the right answer.

It is. On another note, I wonder if any other pitcher has had at least 10 career wins all in one season with at least four other winless seasons.

[EvanJ]

I finished second in the Rookie of the Year voting, but two years before that I made my MLB debut with a different team.

[Yankee Tripper]

You are Marcelino López who threw 6 inning for Philly in 1963 was the PTBNL in a 1964 deal with California before finishing 2nd to Curt Blefary in the AL ROY voting in 1965.

I don't know anything about Marcelino Lopez. The player I'm referring to is active.

[Big_E]

I don't know anything about Marcelino Lopez. The player I'm referring to is active.

Then you're referring to scott podsednik.

But Marcelino Lopez would still be a correct answer.

[EvanJ]

I'm referring to Podsednik.

[Yankee Tripper]

I'm referring to Podsednik.

Yes but my answer was also correct as Big_E mentions and he did it more than 3 decades before Scott. Interstingly enough on both players they broke in in one league and won the ROY for the other league.

I wonder if anyone else satisfies the criteria for your question?

Lou Piniella won ROY rather than finishing second, as the question states. However, it was with his third major-league team.

[Big_E]

Lou Piniella won ROY rather than finishing second, as the question states. However, it was with his third major-league team.

And he won the ROY award 5 YEARS after his ML debut.

I never meant to deny that another player could satisfy the criteria.

[Big_E]

I never meant to deny that another player could satisfy the criteria.

Then are we supposed to be mind readers and GUESS which player you were thinking of?

"WHO AM I: This player hit 4 HR in a game"

"Lou Gehrig."
"Nope."
"Gehrig did it."
"I'm not thinking of him. The player I'm thinking of is active"

"Josh Hamilton"
"Yes, Hamilton."

Just as ridiculous.

[EvanJ]

Then are we supposed to be mind readers and GUESS which player you were thinking of?

No, but it's easier to find a list of players with 4 home runs in a game and know how many there are than to find out how many players could answer my question. I made it up referring to Podsednik and do you expect me to say I was referring to somebody I hadn't heard of when that player was guessed?

[Yankee Tripper]

No but looking him up and going, "damn my question has multiple answers!" might have been a nice touch.

And he won the ROY award 5 YEARS after his ML debut.

And, as we all know, had his best years with yet another team.
