BILLY BUCKNER RUMORS
A Couple Notes: About today being the anniversary of the ball going through Billy Buckner’s legs
25 years ago, Mookie Wilson hit a ground ball during Game 6 of the 1986 World Series against the Red Sox. The ball went through Billy Buckner’s legs, and the Mets ended up winning that game and the entire World Series.
If you have ONE MILLION DOLLARS, which is the starting bid, sitting around, you can bid on the ball that went through Buckner’s legs here.

Looking Back: Dayton’s Best Move
You may have heard about this, but former Royal Billy Buckner was traded from Arizona to Detroit for former phenom Dontrelle Willis. You hopefully recall that Buckner, a former 2nd round pick by the Royals in 2004, was traded in December 2007 for Alberto Callaspo.
Needless to say, the move was a win for Dayton Moore. Let’s look deeper:
First let’s see the stats.

Players A to Z, Billy Buckner
Billy Buckner pitches mostly as a starter for the Arizona Diamondbacks. While Buckner has no outstanding strength (his walk and strikeout rates are both okay), he does have two outstanding weaknesses. He gives up a good number of home runs (31.9 per 200 innings) and he gives up lots of hits for his [...]

Buckner threw a great start in his first [...]

Bullpen blows Buckner’s beauty
Forgive the alliterative, and admittedly dirty-sounding headline. I couldn’t resist.
The Los Angeles Dodgers pushed across 4 runs in the 8th inning, rallying against the Arizona bullpen for a 5-4 victory. The loss was the Diamondbacks’ 6th in a row.
Billy Buckner started for Arizona and pitched one of his best [...]

Dbacks Taking it in the Chin Again
Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Billy Buckner hasn’t disappointed me tonight once again. He lasted a grand total of 1 2/3 innings against the Los Angeles Angels and gave up eight runs, seven hits, and one walk. His ERA has skyrocketed to 8.63. I wonder how many chances this shlub is going to get? I knew [...]

Well, a nation of Red Sox fans seemed to forgive Billy Buckner yesterday. Good for them. I just can't do it.
