Pancho Coimbre was a star in the Caribbean Leagues and the Negro leagues in the 1940s. Roberto Clemente said that Coimbre was a better player than Clemente was. Coimbre played two full seasons in the Puerto Rican League in which he did not strike out.
Frank Gravino played in the minors from 1940-1942 and 1946-1954. He has been called the greatest slugger in Northern League history, hitting 108 home runs in two seasons there.

January 28, 2014: Chicken or the Egg
Yesterday an MLB middle reliever that I've gotten to be sort-of friends with came in the store, and we joked about how middle relievers go on forever waiting for some team to realize that you only create "proven closers" by taking a chance on unproven closers. He confirms the love affair management has with the Save stat, even with years now of folks pointing out how bad it is. Ah, baseball...so great, and so slow to adapt sometimes.
