If criteria was fewest total at bats and September players weren't considered, he would be second to Acosta. <br /><br />Craig's contribution to the Bulls while he wasn't playing seemed large, I'll not be surprised if he's a coach or even manager some day.<br /><br />Sean O'Malley is also a Biscuit now, a hot hitter during their last push to make the playoffs, above .300 in the last 10 games.<br /><br />Unfortunately neither the Biscuits nor their opponents are members of the MILB.TV package, so I guess we won't get to see their playoffs.<br />Orin Dayhttp://www.dwhoops.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-55192956616797698432012-09-04T14:38:16.304-04:002012-09-04T14:38:16.304-04:00If I stick with my original rules, the winners wil...If I stick with my original rules, the winners will have to be Price and Patterson. But have to say that I'm sure leaning towards Montgomery's Mayo Acosta (catcher) and Matt Buschmann who had a few PAs and innings and helped out mid-season. Acosta is now out with a broken ankle/foot, but Buschmann is scheduled to start in the Southern League playoffs.<br /><br />Trivia: Price and Kiermaier went to Montgomery to play for the Biscuits in the playoffs.<br /><br />http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20120904/SPORTS01/309040011/Biscuit-crumbs-Matt-Buschmann-picked-pitch-playoff-opener-against-Mobile-BayBears<br /><br />Also, probable starting 1B for the Biscuits' opponent will be former Bull Matt Mangini.Chris W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266137926441160311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-21729616442076022482012-09-04T13:31:09.486-04:002012-09-04T13:31:09.486-04:00I'd like to see playing at the DBAP before Sep...I'd like to see playing at the DBAP before September 1 as a criterion. Yes, the real Moonlight Graham did make his only big league appearance on the road - but he was with the New York Giants for at least a month before getting into that game at the end of June 1905, in cross-town Brooklyn. He wasn't a roster expansion player, or domino of such like the Bulls players called up from the Stone Crabs this September. <br /><br />That said, Kiermaier, Price, and Patterson responded to those tough circumstances by playing high quality baseball as Durham Bulls. Price was at the DBAP for the last game but didn't play, Patterson I didn't see there.Orin Dayhttp://www.dwhoops.comnoreply@blogger.com
