NAME: Bill Monbouquette
POSITION: Starting Pitcher
WHY IS HE HERE? At this time, Monbouquette is one of those guys you have to be a big fan of the team to have heard of him. He was the team's best starting pitcher in the early 1960's, a time period in which the team was simply not that good. Ted Williams was retired and Yaz hadn't become a big star yet. But Monbouquette was a 20 game winner in 1963 and was an All Star four times. He had a 96-91 record with a 3.69 ERA for Boston.
WOULD I PUT HIM IN IN 2001?: Yes.
ANY BETTER CHOICES IN 2001?: Any of the better choices is already here.
WOULD I PUT HIM IN NOW?: Yes.
ANY BETTER CHOICES NOW?: Of course there are other pitchers that should be in, but Monbouquette was a big part of the team at a certain point. In order to tell a full history of the team, he has to be in.
