Name: Dean William Palmer
Nickname: Fred
Years Played: 1989 - 2003
Teams: Texas Rangers, Kansas City Royals, Detroit Tigers
Highlights/Awards: All-Star in 1998, Won 2 Silver Slugger Awards, Led the AL in strikeouts in 1992 with 154
Career Stats: .251 BA, 275 HR, 849 RBI, 231 2B, .472 SLG, 1332 K
Best Season: 1996; .280 BA, .527 SLG, 38 HR, 107 RBI
DYK: Made his Major League debut when he was 20 years old.
Thoughts: No real memories of Dean Palmer stand out, just that he was a slugging third baseman who struck out a lot, my favorite kind of player. I did find it interesting that his Wikipedia entry claims that he’s now living in London studying for a degree in Computer Science. I’m pretty sure that’s not correct, but if it is, kudos to you Mr. Palmer. Of course it also says that his middle name is Richard.
