Hanley Ramirez

Hanley Ramirez won the National League Rookie of the Year in 2006 when he was with the Florida Marlins, and for the rest of the decade, he was one of the top Shortstops in the NL.

Ramirez had at least 100 Runs as a rookie, and he hit that mark in his first four years, including leading the league with 125 in 2008.  An All-Star three years in a row from 2008 to 2010, Ramirez won the Batting Title in 2009 (.342), the third of four consecutive .300 seasons.  Ramirez was the runner-up to Albert Pujols for the MVP that year, and he also won his second Silver Slugger.

Keeping with the tradition of Marlins history, Ramirez was traded when it became clear they could no longer afford him, and the Infielder would land in L.A. with the Dodgers.  He did not produce the same numbers but still could go yard and drive in runs, as shown by his 30 Home Run year in 2016.

Ramirez retired with 1,834 Hits, a .289 Batting Average, and 271 Home Runs.

Francisco Liriano had an interesting career, constantly dealing with injuries and poor performance, yet he was one of the best flamethrowers of the game when he was on.

Liriano went to his first and only All-Star Game as a rookie with the Twins in 2006, but he was not able to immediately follow up due to Tommy John surgery.  The Dominican came back in 2008, and after two years of struggles, rebounded with a 14-10 season and the American League Comeback of the Year Award.

The pattern continued for Liriano, and with his third team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, he had one of his best years, winning a career-high 16 Games and had a ninth-place finish for the Cy Young.  Liriano made history by becoming the first player to win the Comeback Player of the Year in both leagues.

He continued to play for six more years, with stops in Toronto, Houston, and Detroit, before returning to the Pirates to conclude his career.  Liriano had a lifetime record of 112-114 with 1,815 Strikeouts.

Fernando Rodney

Fernando Rodney had one of the more unique celebrations after a save, as he mimicked shooting an arrow from the mound.  As he is a member of the 300-Save club, we got to see it often.

Rodney had a long career, 17 years in total, playing for Detroit (2002-09), Los Angeles (AL) (2010-11), Tampa Bay (2012-13), Seattle (2014-15), Chicago (NL) (2015), San Diego (2016), Miami (2016), Arizona (2017), Minnesota (2018), Oakland (2018-19) and Washington (2019).  A four-time All-Star, Rodney twice led the American League in Games Finished, and when he was a Mariner, he won the Saves Title with 48.  He would have five other seasons where he had at least 35 Saves.

The Dominican never started any of his 951 Games but did finish 590 of them with 327 total Saves.

Rodney closed off his MLB career with the Nationals, winning a World Series Ring.  

54. Felix Hernandez

Felix Hernandez played his entire MLB career with the Seattle Mariners, the team where he would become the "King" of the Pacific Northwest and all of Baseball.

“King Felix” made his first appearance in the Majors in 2005, and after showing gradual improvement over his first few seasons, Hernandez took the throne in 2009, leading the American League in Wins (19), H/9 (7.5), and finishing second in Cy Young voting.  Hernandez was better in 210, winning the Cy Young, with a league-leading 2.27 ERA and 7.0 H/9, while also finishing atop the leaderboard in Innings Pitched (249.2).

Hernandez would not win the Cy Young again, but he was a contender for the award for years to come.  From 2011 to 2015, he was a perennial All-Star (he went to six in total), and in the last of those four years, he was in the top eight in Cy Young votes, including another second-place finish in 2014.  That year, Hernandez led the AL in ERA (2.14), WHIP (0.915), and H/9 (6.5).

Hernandez played until 2019, retiring with a career record of 169-136 and 2,524 Strikeouts.
