Describe a player and guess who it is thread

I looked it up for the hell of it. "Turkey" Mike Donlin, so named because of his odd gait, was an alcoholic and eccentric who was actually a good hitter. Took time off occasionally to act with his vaudeville wife. One of many players who refused to play for the Phillies after being traded there. lol.

ohhhh that "Turkey Mike"

Pill for a day? I take 40 MG XR around 11 AM, then 20 IR at 4 and 20 IR at 6. Basically you'll have to catch me when I take my Klonopin around 9 and start getting loopy, otherwise I'm on my game.

And this is when I follow my doctor's orders.......

Holy shit, do you go psycho if you forget your meds?

I don't. I take 5 (sometimes 6) meds a day and I always remember them. And no, I'm not psychotic

[Omar 382]

Furcal?

 

[jvett77]

Yes, Rafael. He also had three brothers; two made it to MLB organizations but their careers went nowhere. The third bother was a tragic suicide.

 

[Omar 382]

Alright I got one

• All-Star in 2010 and 2011
• Gold Glove winner in 2011, giving his franchise the first time 3 Gold Glovers were won in a season
• 30 game hit-steak in 2011
• Another one of those (IMO) underrated players of the last decade
• Consistently scores in the 2.5-3.5 WAR range every year
• Had his best season in 2015 when he hit .294/.366/.486 with a 137 wRC+
