NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION: 1975 MIKE PAUL

Up on the blog today, we have a 1975 "not so missing" card for former pitcher Mike Paul, who closed out a seven-year Big League career in 1974 as a member of the Chicago Cubs:


Paul, who originally came up in 1968 with the Cleveland Indians, appeared in only two games with the Cubs in 1974, going 0-1 and giving up four runs in 1.1 innings of work, for an unsightly 27.00 earned run average.
Generally both a starter and reliever over his career, he appeared in 228 games with 77 starts, completing five games while saving eight, with a 3.91 ERA over 627.2 innings playing for the Indians, Texas Rangers and Cubs.
HIs best season was easily 1972 with the Texas Rangers, when he pitched to a brilliant 2.17 ERA over 161.2 innings, appearing in 49 games with 20 of them being starts, though only having a record of 8-9 to show for it.
