    Don't worry -- John D. Villareal is preparing a 10-part YouTube presentation to plead your case.

    Second place is a T-shirt with your name on it.

    Third place is, you're fired.

    Might have been fun to watch, but he did NOTHING before Colorado.

    He actually came up with the Angels in 1990, and at the time I thought he showed some promise. Manager at the time, Doug Rader, hated playing him though and Bichette even admitted he was pretty immature at the time.

    He may not have put up the numbers he did if he stayed in Anaheim, but I still think the deal where he was traded for Dave Parker was a shitty one for the Angels.

    Gossage is a lock. Once you reach the mid-60 percent range you always get the additional support to make it. Plus, he has plenty of years left. Unfortunately, this also means Rice will likely make it. Go Red Sox!

    Actually, Bichette hit .287 as a part-time player his final year in Milwaukee before going to the Rockies, and then had two solid years with Cincy/Boston after leaving Colorado.

    Like I said, not a HOFer. But a solid major-league player.

    Oh well. You didn't miss much, BYH.

    Just Dante sitting in the dugout, wearing a "BICHETTE HAPPENS!" T-shirt.

    You can have most of these players on RBI Baseball for the NES.
