Terrible Card Tuesday: 2015 Kris Negron

I’ve had a couple calls for 2015 Kris Negron for Terrible Tuesday the latest which came from fellow IAL manager Todd Ventresca.  Indeed, utiilityman Negron hit only .140 in 93 at-bats for the Reds with a couple steals and as many doubles.

While Negron’s card is none too pleasant with an 11-8 and a 55-40, it has some interesting quirks about it too.  He has a 42 at 31.  In addition, APBA decided to give him a 14* rather than a speed number at 15. 

Plus, Negron has a 53-21 which is common for fielders who play multiple positions.  That is probably Negron’s most valuable asset, the ability to play every position except pitcher and catcher.   

Ugly numbers:  11-8, 51-13, 55-40

Interestingly, Negron DOES have two 31s. 

It’s certainly a far cry below his rookie season when he hit .279/.331/.479.

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as a frequent participant of the Chicagoland APBA Tournament. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.

  1. Featherston may be just as bad. But Negron is a 3B-2 for Extra Ugly.

  2. In ILLOWA League, His manager was trying to trade Kris Negron earlier this off-season, touring his versatility.

    If I still had Gordon Beckham, we might have had a deal. But I dumped Beckham to somebody last off-season. :-)

    • Hey, one must try and be creative. And Kris is not the only horrible card I have on my team, I also have Rickie Weeks. But kris will actually play some games!
