Just a note on Danny Cater, the Red Sox felt they "HAD" to play him in 1972 as they had just traded Sparky Lyle for him. Well, we know it was a bad trade, but you have to play some people for political reasons at times.

Plus Cater was not a bad player. He once finished second in the league in hitting and had hit .300 for the Yanks in 155 games two years prior. The Bosox platoon strategy just didn't work (plus Cater had some injuries)--although he would rebound to over .300 the following year, again playing only part-time. The guy could hit and seldom whiffed.
