Nick Swisher

An All Star in 2009, Nick Swisher had nine consecutive seasons where he belted 20 Home Runs.  A member of the Yankees 2009 World Series Championship team, Swisher was at his best in New York and was a popular figure there.  He would overall tabulate 245 Home Runs over his career.

Michael Cuddyer

A two time All Star, Michael Cuddyer spent most of his career with the Minnesota Twins, but his best season was in 2013 when he was with the Colorado Rockies.  That year, Cuddyer won the Batting Title and earned his only Silver Slugger.  He would have over 1,500 Hits over his career.

63. Mark Buehrle

For over a decade, Mark Buehrle was either considered an ace or a player close to the top of the rotation.  Five times, Buehrle was named an All-Star and is a member of the 200 Win club, a mark that is becoming increasingly elusive.  A finesse pitcher with a wide arsenal to use, Buehrle’s best season was in 2005, when he finished 5th in Cy Young voting and helped the Chicago White Sox win the World Series.

Buehrle was also known for his defensive skills, as he was a four-time All-Star and had a career bWAR of nearly 60.

LaTroy Hawkins

One of the few players to pitch over 1,000 Games and to play into his 40’s, LaTroy Hawkins played for eleven teams in his MLB career.  Hawkins played most of his career in the bullpen where he recorded 127 Saves.  As of this writing, he is 10th overall in Games Pitched.
