Dave Nelson, who functioned at all levels of the game, died Monday:
He played in the majors from 1968-77 as an infielder with the Indians, Senators, Rangers and Royals. Nelson made the 1973 AL All-Star team after batting .286 with 43 stolen bases with Texas.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Nelson did not hit well for his career, but he managed a 3.2 WAR in 1973. At his peak he was a good base stealer, grabbing 98 bags with 33 caught stealings in 1972 and 1973. He would go on to be a broadcaster and a coach.
