Why no Ken Singleton? His 1971 walk rate made Rickey Henderson look like a hacker.

cuz he would've been a backup OFer and PHer, primarily against RHPers, for which role i already had the aforementioned legend, Gates Brown. And Jim Northrup, too. If i needed Singleton, he was on the roster, i just never used him that i recall. I did however use that OTHER Brown... downtown Ollie Brown, from SD, once or twice. I think i just liked his nickname.
