Playing the board game back in the day, we would call Tenace; Gene Gene the on base machine ! We got the idea from the Gong Show. He would make for a very versatile bench player.

Gene Tenace - underappreciated in a time when OBP wasn't even an official statistic.

He was better defensively than his one 1973 card. Card viewer shows

1975 C3(-1)5, 1b304 4L
1976, although not superadvanced C3(-1)5 1b308 2L
1977 C4(+1)7, 1b305, 3b441 2R
1978 1b312 C4(0)3, 3b465 5L
1979, although not superadvanced, C3(-1)1, 1b320 3L

Tenace’s 71 and 82 seasons don’t have enough at bats to qualify for nomination

How about catcher 1894 Wilbert Robinson? Only 1 card... Has enough at bats/plate appearances...

But his defense is terrible. He is only listed at one position, catcher, and he is 3(+2) T20 pb 14

I nominated the 1979 Gene Tenace card for the 24.1 add (.263 BA, .403 OBP, .445 SLG, .848 OPS). Defensively he threw out almost 50% of SB attempts with only 1 error. This was after he left Oakland and it would give the Padres a far better option at C than they currently have.

We did get Terry Kennedy for the Friars.

So they DO have someone. But I would love to see Tenace.
