Biographical Information[edit]

Tim Dulin peaked at AAA. He was on Team USA.

Dulin was drafted by the Montreal Expos in the 7th round of the 1984 Amateur Draft, but he refused to sign. He represented the USA in the 1984 Amateur World Series, hitting .225/.326/.325 and fielding .971. He started at third and also backed up Pete Stanicek at 2B and Joe Dunlap at SS. [1] He was all-Metro Athletic Conference in 1982, 1984 and 1985, setting Memphis school records for runs (165) and homers by a second baseman (27) while being among the career leaders in hits, RBI and doubles as well. He would make the school's Hall of Fame. [2] K.K. Chalmers would break his run record over two decades later. [3] The Baltimore Orioles picked him in the 5th round of the 1985 Amateur Draft, between Steve Peters and Tim Layana.

In his pro debut, he hit .271/.383/.406 in 66 games for the Bluefield Orioles in 1985. He tied Donny Rowland for 8th in the Appalachian League with 44 runs, was 8th with 15 doubles and tied for 8th in walks (38). Dulin played 109 games with a .257/.335/.302 batting line for the then-minor league Miami Marlins in 1986, and he also hit .231/.354/.298 in 33 games with the Newark Orioles. He collected 23 doubles and 10 steals with a .283/.353/.377 batting line for the Hagerstown Suns in 1987. He tied for 7th in the O's chain in two-baggers.

He then crushed a career-high 13 homers in 1988; he had a .243/.354/.381 batting line for the Charlotte Knights and went 16-for-48 in 14 games with the AAA Rochester Red Wings. Among Baltimore minor leaguers, he tied Butch Davis for 6th in runs (66), tied Davis for 7th in doubles (23 again), tied Davis for 4th in dingers, was 7th in RBI (right behind Steve Finley) and was second with 73 walks (9 behind Jerry Holtz). He played 120 games with a .252/.328/.350 batting line at the AAA level in 1989. His batting line was .238/.316/.318 in 117 games the next year, leading 1990 IL second basemen with 103 double plays (14 ahead of #2 Mickey Morandini). [4] The next year, he went to the Pittsburgh Pirates system. However, Dulin had a 2-for-28 record in 1991 for the Buffalo Bisons, and he announced his retirement.
