Here is a run-down of overusage for the 1993 season: The following teams have no usage penalties because they either changed ownership during the season or immediately after the season: Carolina Lighthouse (Steve Brunner). There was in reality NO overuse for this team. Frisco Sky Sox (Greg Grover). Massive overusage, especially of batters. New Jersey Cows (Joe DeZarlo-Jeff Thomas) (only 1 game of overuse-Springer) Pitcairn Islanders (Terry Buchanan-Greg Nolen) remarkable job of managing understaffed at bats The following teams had NO overusage. Congratulations! Atlantic City Vultures (Al Schweitzer) Baltimore Redbirds (Greg Henning) Black Swamp Salamanders (Chris Williams) Brooklyn Bridegrooms (Rich Applegate) Canton Moondogs (Tom Kackley) Cleveland Buckeyes (Jim Bendik) Frankfort Hot Dogs (Gary Plunkitt) Indianapolis Arrows (Rick Ryan) Kansas Storm (Craig Korol) Kitsilano Hedgehogs (John Saunders) Lafayette Red Sox (Steve Ehresman) Quigley Qs (John Dewan) Red Bluff Rough Riders (Marc Hollingsworth) The following 8 teams had mild to moderate overusage: Anaheim Orange Growers (Marc Robinson) (1 game) Dan Gladden 9 at bats-(1 game) Birmingham Cloverleafs (9-games) Tino Martinez, 16 at bats (3 games-1 game forgiven) William Suero, 5 at bats (1 game-forgiven) Tim Salmon, 8 at bats (1 game-forgiven) Shawn Boskie, (2 game penalty) Omar Olivares, (5 game penalty) Cedar Rapids Cyclones (Jerry Cada) (9-games)* Mariano Duncan, 15 at bats (3 games-1 game forgiven) Lenny Harris, 10 at bats (2 games-1 game forgiven) Kevin Seitzer, 15 at bats (3 games-1 game forgiven) Omar Vizquel, 21 at bats (4 games -1 game forgiven) Jeffrey Hamonds, 9 at bats (1 game) Chicago Zephyrs (Terry Baxter) (1 game) Vince Coleman: 9 at bats (1 game) Dexter Dreadnoughts (Peter Brooks) (2 games) Butch Davis, 14 at bats (2 games) Michigan Red Bulls (Vin Onstott) (1 game) Freddie Benavides, 6 at bats (1 game) Niskayuna MicroMets (Don Rahn) (1 game) John Smiley, 1 relief over (1 game) Pandora Boxers (John Laburda) (3 games Rondell White, 9 at bats (1 game) Curt Young, 1 start over (2 games) The following teams suffered permanent usage penalties: Grays Harbor Rivers (Jeff Snell) (25 games) Paul Molitor: 21 at bats over (4 games-1 forgiven) Jeff Kent: 10 at bats over (2 games-1 forgiven) Todd Zeile: 32 at bats over (6 games-1 forgiven) Alan Trammell: 17 at bats over (3 games-1 forgiven) Thomas Howard: 5 at bats (1 game-forgiven) Dave Gallagher: 10 at bats (2 games-1 forgiven) Andy Van Slyke: 6 at bats (1 game-forgiven) Andre Dawson: 16 at bats (3 games-1 forgiven) Brad Holman: 16 games more than the 21 allowed (16 game penalty-5 forgiven) *-the circumstances of the Cloverleafs and Rivers have been explained previously. In the case of the Cyclones, the overusage was so marginal that I felt that it would be extreme and unfair to impose a permanent penalty upon them, especially given the fact that they had a significantly losing record. Vizquel also fell very short in his expected walks.
