Nickname: Rerun, Randy
Years Played: 1983 - 1995
Teams: Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies, Oakland A’s, Montreal Expos
Highlights/Awards: Earned almost $2.5 during his career
Career Stats: .259 AVG, .359 OBP, .387 SLG, 40 HR, 239 RBI, 312 R, 27 SB
Best Season: 1987; .309 AVG, .423 OBP, .520 SLG, 12 HR, 54 RBI, 69 R, 7SB
DYK: Was traded with John Kruk to the Phillies in ‘89. Named New York-Penn League Manager of the year in ’03. Two time minor league batting champion.
Thoughts: How did Randy Ready stick around for 13 seasons? He tore up the minors w/ a .343 average in 689 games, but it never really transferred to the big leagues. I only remember him because of his fantastic name. He seems to be a pretty good minor league manager though, so it must have been his smarts that kept getting him roster spots until he was 37 years old.
