Handed the Brewers shortstop job at age 21, Auerbach kept it for part of 1971 and all of 1972. His weak bat cost him the starting job, but he lasted seven seasons as a utility man and pinch hitter elsewhere. (MC)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » April 26, 1977: The Rangers trade Lenny Randle to the Mets for Rick Auerbach and cash. » June 15, 1977: The Reds keep trading today, sending P Gary Nolan to the Angels for INF Craig Henderson. Cincy also swaps P Rawly Eastwick to the Cardinals for P Doug Capilla. Then, a fine trade for the Brewers, Milwaukee snag P Mike Caldwell from the Reds for P Dick O'Keeffe and infielder Garry Pyka. Caldwell has had trouble regaining his form following arm surgery, but in 1978 he will be the American League's comeback player of the year. In a final deal, the Reds acquire infielder Rick Auerbach from the Texas Rangers.
