Well another player (not really a star which many of the ones here have been so far)


"Starvin" Marvin McGillicuddy LF/DH
HT: 6"5 Wt: 190 (skinny guy, which is why he is called Starvin' Marvin )
Age: early 30's B/T: R/R

not a star, but a solid player. Doesnt do anything outstanding, but is solid in many areas. Best used in a platoon role. He can absolutely kill lefties at times. Though while better against lefties, he is solid against righties.

He'll draw a fair number of walks (maybe 60 or so if given a 500 AB season). Has some power (maybe 20 in a 500 AB season). He is slow though, and might need a PR in the late innings for him. However he has proven to be a good PH. As a fielder? Well, there is a reason he is a LF/DH. Limited range, glove must be made of marble. However he has an above-average arm (though not above average enough to be considered outstanding. Starvin' Marvin does have a bit of a mean streak, has been known to get right in the middle of the pile during bench clearing brawls swinging punches at everything in the opposite uniform.

Basically a solid bench player, with platoon possibilities.
