I remember being upset because he was taking playing time away from Little Cat, Frank Catalanotto. At the time I did not understand the vast gulf between in defensive ability.

He was a real Steady Eddie for the Rangers and on my teams for years. You knew exactly what you were getting--lots of hits, fine BA, enough counting stats. Rarely spectacular, very rarely in a slump.
What I admired about him as a player was his willingness to change positions to accommodate the team. He came up as a 2B, the Rangers traded for Alfonso Soriano, he moved to SS willingly. Andrus came along, he willingly moved to 3B. Beltre was signed--well, maybe he didn't move willingly, but he adapted to the 1B/DH/occasional 3B role.
