On the blog today, a career-capping "not so missing" 1979 card for former pitcher Mark Wiley, who finished up a brief two-year MLB career with six games:
Wiley only had two years on the big league level, 1975 with the Minnesota Twins, when he appeared in 15 games, going 1-3, and again in 1978 when he split time with the San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays for six appearances, finishing 1-0 for the year with an ERA at 6.10 over 10.1 innings
In between he was a workhorse in the Minors,
logging some serious innings between 1970 and 1979, winning 120 games
while tossing 21 shutouts.
All told, his career numbers: a 2-3 record with a 6.06 ERA, 21 appearances with four starts and 49 innings of work.
He later went on to be a pitching coach for a few teams: the Orioles, Indians, Marlins and Royals.
