One final bit of housekeeping from my time with the Seahawks.
The following Honolulu players won award for their performances in 1952:
- Chris Blair: Gold Glove @ C; Platinum Stick @ C
- Marcus Strickland: Gold Glove @ 1B
- Fidel Vazquez: Gold Glove @ RF; Platinum Stick @ CF
- Art Zachry: Reliever of the Year
- Jason Edwards: Platinum Stick @ P; Pitcher of the Year
- Brian Malone: Platinum Stick @ 3B; Most Valuable Player
- Roland Taylor: Platinum Stick @ SS
- Aaron Mecham: Platinum Stick @ LF
- Dustin White: Platinum Stick @ CF
And for what it’s worth, the following Butte players did likewise:
- Dan Foote: Gold Glove @ C
- Chris Macon: Gold Glove @ 1B; Platinum Stick @ 1B; Most Valuable Player
- Tyler Franchi: Gold Glove @ LF
We had just one player who had an arb hearing: C Justin Howell. He was awarded $20k v his 1952 salary of $17k, making him even more tradeable.
