You don't see many teenagers in the big leagues any more. I was disappointed when the Angels traded Aurelio Rodriguez away because I remember him as a subperb defensive third baseman.

You're right Cajun. Rodriguez was a great third baseman with a cannon arm. I hated to see Ken McMullen leave Washington but Aurelio had his best year(and only year) with the Senators. I think he won one gold glove and if I'm not mistaken,he was the first to win it after Brooks Robinson's long string in the A.L.
