Lloyd Moseby- OF - Bats Left, Throws Right; Toronto Blue Jays 1980-89; Detroit Tigers 1990-91; Japan 1992 An outstanding athlete, Lloyd Moseby possessed loads of speed, power and fielding range. As a 19-year-old he was selected second in the June 1978 Free Agent Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. He played in the minors and joined the Blue Jays in 1980. In 1983, he became the first-ever Blue Jay to score 100 runs in one year. In that season, Moseby hit .315, 170 hits, 31 doubles, 18 HRs scored 104 runs, and stole 27 bases. He repeated with an outstanding 1984 season - hitting .280, 28 Ds, 15 Ts, 18 HRs, 97 Runs and 92 RBIs, walked 78 times, stole 39 bases, and a good .372 on-base-pct. Unfortuanately, after the above years, Moseby's career slumped and he was never quite able to repeat his early performances. He was traded to Detroit in 1990. |
