Re: Sillie Phillie Quiz
Thanks for cooperating. Unfortunately, Hamels and Wendell are both miscues
Richard Joseph "Turk" Farrell (1956-1969) is our recidivist Phil (1956-1961, 1967-1969). He earned 65 Phillie saves and routinely pitched over 80 innings. He's an interesting case of how some teams were seeing the value in a relief ace and others weren't. He was exclusively a reliever for his first six years, the last of which led to a trade to LA. He moves on to Houston who use him as a middling starter for five years. They trade him back to Phillie and he returns to the pen for his last three seasons.
