Manny Trillo had two unimpressive stints with the Cubs

I decided to include even players who were not really sucessful in their tenure with the Cubs. These type of players were predominate on the Chicago Cub rosters. One that was really memorable was the Puerto Rican manny Trillo. I remember him from the late seventies and he was part of some average Cub teams. He was an average player at that time so he fit good on those Cubs teams. I am not sure what made him most memorable except maybe the fact he looked like a shark straight out of the musical movie West Side Story. He had a slick glove and had some speed. manny went on to have a long career in baseball. He must have played with seven different clubs as he was always being shipped around. I wonder if he played for cheap and thats why he seemed to be everywhere. He had another short stint with the Chicago Cubs in the eighties.
