Andy Merchant 1975

It was pretty hard to break into the big leagues in the 70's...when you are behind the depth chart with a future Hall of Famer at the top it is that much more difficult.

Perhaps, Andy Merchant would have had a longer career had he caught for a team like the Mariners, Blue Jays (where his minor league mate Ernie Whitt ended up), Astros, or Braves...But, instead he spent 5 seasons with the Red Sox AAA team and a grand total of 3 games in the majors going 2-6.
