1989 Topps Major League Debut #33: Mike Dyer



Mike Dyer

Now isn't this odd. If Dyer's middle name were "Cud," that would be really neat. Because then we'd have two Twins players: Mike Cud Dyer and Mike Cuddyer.

PHOTO: Looks like he's checking the runner. Get used to that, dude, because you're going to give up a lot of baserunners in your career.

STAT: After starting in 1989, Dyer was a reliever for the rest of his career. But he did spin a few nice gems, including his only complete game, a 1-run effort against the White Sox.

CAREER: 2/10

After his MLB debut in 1989, 16 games with the Twins, Dyer went to the minors and resurfaced again in 1994 with the Pirates. In 1995 and 1996, he was a league-average reliever pitching 150 innings over the 2 seasons.
