Talk:Luis Aparicio

message: It is not amazing that he never played any defensive position than Shortstsop. He had very little offensive value and he was a great defensive Shortstop. A manager who played him somewhere else would be hurting the team offensively and defensively. Of course, managers in that era did seem able to ignore the fact that he was very bad at getting on base. No matter how often he made Outs and how rarely he walked, they kept batting him in the leadoff position. Certainly he could steal bases and he ran the bases well in other respects but his low on-base percentage prevented his ever leading the league in Runs scored or coming close. I don't think he ever scored one hundred Runs in a year. 65.79.173.135 (talk) 17:50, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I find:
"In 1972, Aparicio made a late-season baserunning blunder that contributed to the Red Sox losing the 1972 American League Eastern Division title by half a game to the Detroit Tigers."
I don't know if it would be called a blunder, but it says in the history of the Boston Red Sox that he fell down rounding 3rd base and (it PRESUMABLY was then too late to score on that play) he tried to get back to 3rd but Carl Yastrzemski, who had hit apparent triple, was already there.  (3rd base had to be awarded to Aparicio as the lead runner, so Yaz was out when tagged, and Yaz' hit was scored as a double, not a triple.)  So, again, I don't know if it's considered a blunder, but you see what happened.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 14:52, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Are you sure it was a BLUNDER? 

message: There is such a comment at the start of wikipedia entry of Chico Carrasquel, who like Aparacio was a major-league shortstop from Venezuela.  We need such here too, because at top of the entry I see a 2nd surname after "Aparacio".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 15:59, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
