Dick Schofield was a highly sought-after player in the 1981 Draft and was taken third overall by the California Angels. Schofield first played for the Angels in 1983, but it would be clear that his biggest asset would be his defense. Fortunately, he was very good at it.
Schofield never had a season where he had over 126 Hits (1988) and only had at least three digits three times (1986-88). He did post three seasons of Defensive bWAR over 2.0, and he was one of the most underappreciated defensive players in the mid-80s.
He was traded to the Mets in 1992 and won a World Series Ring with Toronto before returning to the Angels in a bench role in 1995 for two years. Schofield did have a 10.7 Defensive bWAR for the Angels, which is currently sixth all-time in Angels history.
