Charlie Williams was 5-3 with a 3.49 ERA in 55 games (2 starts). He was used mostly as a middle reliever and set-up man. The photographer must have liked that spot for taking pictures--the left field bleachers at Phoenix Municipal Stadium are in the background on quite a few '75 cards.

Mike Caldwell was 7-13 with a 4.79 ERA in 38 games (21 starts).

Tom Bradley was 2-3 with a 6.21 ERA in 13 games (6 starts). He spent part of the season in AAA Phoenix. His last major league game was on September 15, 1975. Tom didn't make the club in 1976 and was selected off of waivers by Oakland, but he spent the whole year in AAA and didn't make it back to the big leagues.

Randy Moffitt was 4-5 with a 3.89 ERA and 11 saves in 55 games in 1975. He led the team in games finished and saves.
