Doug DeCinces had giant shoes to fill as he was the Orioles Third Baseman after Brooks Robinson.  He played well, but he was never going to be the Hall of Famer, and altercations with his star Pitcher, Jim Palmer, led to a trade to California in 1982.

DeCinces’s career took an upward turn with the Angels, as he belted a career-high 30 Home Runs in '82 and had his only .300 season.  He was an All-Star the following season, and from 1984 to 1986, he smacked at least 20 across the fences.  

His play slipped in 1987, and he was released, but he left the Angels with 130 Home Runs and a .463 Slugging Percentage.
