Tony Watson

Tony Watson, a former baseball player, is unlikely to be considered for the Baseball Hall of Fame, although he was one of the best middle relievers in his time. He had his best seasons while playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team that drafted him. During his time with them, he appeared in 78 games, leading the National League, and earned a spot in the All-Star Game. Furthermore, he recorded a 10-2 win-loss record with an impressive 1.63 ERA. Subsequently, he played for both Los Angeles teams and San Francisco, appearing in a total of 689 games over his 11-year-long career.

Todd Frazier

Todd Frazier was a prominent power hitter in the National League for several years, and he is best known for his time with the Cincinnati Reds, the team that drafted him in 2007.

Frazier made his debut in the Reds in 2011, and in the following season, he ranked third in Rookie of the Year voting. He attended back-to-back All-Star Games in 2014 and 2015, during which he hit 64 Home Runs, 169 RBIs, and 33 Stolen Bases. The infielder was traded to the Chicago White Sox after the 2015 Season, where he had his best power season in baseball, with career-highs in Home Runs (40) and RBIs (98). However, it was also his last full year in Chicago, and arguably his last good season overall.

The White Sox traded Frazier to the Yankees during the 2017 Season, but his performance declined, and he later played for the New York Mets, Texas Rangers, and Pittsburgh Pirates in brief stints. He retired after the 2021 Season with 218 Home Runs and 640 RBIs.

Starlin Castro

Starlin Castro had an impressive start in his baseball career. He hit a home run in his first Major League At Bat, making history as the first player born in the 1990s to appear in the Show. Over the next few seasons, Castro became the team's spark plug, finishing fifth in National League Rookie of the Year voting. He led the NL in At Bats during the years 2011-13 and in 2011, became the youngest person to lead a league in Hits with 207. Castro was also selected for three All-Star Games in a four-year period (2011, 2012 & 2014), making him a valuable asset to the Chicago Cubs.

Despite his success, the Cubs thought Castro was expendable and traded him to the New York Yankees. He played for the Yankees for two seasons, adding a fourth All-Star in 2018 when he batted an even .300. The Yankees later traded him to the Miami Marlins, where he played for two years. In 2019, Castro had over 20 home runs (22) for the first time in his career. However, the Marlins declined his option, and he signed with the Washington Nationals as a Free Agent. Unfortunately, he missed most of 2020 due to a wrist injury and was investigated by MLB for domestic violence in 2021, leading to a 30-day suspension. The Nationals cut him, and Castro was never seen in the Majors again.

Despite his promising start, Castro left the game with 1,722 Hits and 138 Home Runs, leaving fans to wonder what could have been.

Scott Kazmir

Scott Kazmir was a power pitcher who was initially drafted by the New York Mets. However, he never played for the team as he was traded to Tampa Bay while he was still in the minors. This trade would later receive a lot of criticism from Mets fans, particularly when Kazmir started going to All-Star Games with the Rays.

Kazmir made his debut for Tampa Bay in August of 2004, and while there was much to like about the southpaw, there were also some concerns. He had a good strikeout rate, but he also walked a lot of batters. Nonetheless, Kazmir rose to become Tampa Bay's Opening Day starter in 2006 and earned his first All-Star that year with a record of 10-8, 3.24 ERA, and 163 SO. He had an even better season in 2007, leading the American League in strikeouts with 239. Kazmir was an All-Star again in 2008 (12-8, 3.49 ERA, 116 SO), but he struggled with injuries and his performance declined. He was traded to the Angels during the 2009 season, where he finished strong. However, he had a disappointing 2010 season with an ERA close to six over 150 innings.

In 2011, Kazmir only played one game in the majors and was demoted to the minors, where his career seemed to be over. The Angels released him, and he played in several leagues in 2012 before Cleveland gave him another shot in 2013. Kazmir made the team and was respectable with a 10-9 record and a 4.04 ERA. He then signed with Oakland, where he went to his third All-Star Game, which was a significant achievement considering where he was just a few years before. Kazmir finished with a career-high of 15 wins and had a good start to the 2015 season but was traded to Houston during the season. He then played for the Los Angeles Dodgers for a year, but muscle issues forced him to leave a game in late September, which turned out to be his last game in the majors for the next five years.

Despite his ups and downs, Kazmir had a respectable career with three All-Star selections. He also played in other leagues and won a silver medal for the United States in the 2021 Olympics. Kazmir eventually got another chance in the majors with the San Francisco Giants but retired after that.
