Bonus Monday Name That Cub

Hey, what can I say? I'm having fun with this, and it's a slow week, and I hope you are too.

Clue: Played in only one major league season. Yep, that's it, that's all you get. And this one isn't from a baseball card.

Ben Stiller?

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

LOL

No, it’s a REAL Cub player, someone who actually played in the major leagues.

Had Totally Forgotten About Him

When I think of someone in baseball named Mike Martin, I think of the famed Florida State baseball coach.

The Cubs' Mike Martin...

… is now running a baseball academy in Las Vegas.

not him

Herbert James “Duke” Brett (Lawrenceville, Virginia) was a right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball for the Chicago Cubs. After his playing career ended, Brett served as a manager in the minor leagues for nearly twenty seasons.

Wow, I never would have thought that.

He pitched in 1924 and 1925.

Man...I'm not old enough to play this game.

Gimme a Delino DeShields or Jason Dubois or Adam Greenberg any day, but they guys are damn hard!

Does Soriano's defense at 2B really cost more runs than in LF?  He makes a lot fewer errors in LF since misplays and mental mistakes aren't figured into the stats, but I have to imagine that his mistakes are more physical at 2B.  Any thoughts?  Is there a statistic on this?
