Scott Kazmir

A three-time All Star (two with Tampa and one with Oakland) Scott Kazmir was a decent Strikeout Pitcher who would lead the American League in Ks in 2007.  While he was able to accomplish that feat in Tampa, his overall career would only see him win 108 Games.  That isn’t bad considering his overall workload, but it is not one that might see him garner Hall of Fame consideration, though it should for whatever the Tampa Bay Rays do for their former players.

Ryan Vogelsong

Ryan Vogelsong had a nondescript career for years in the Majors and in Japan but he would return to the United States in the 2011 season where he was a surprise All Star and an 11th place finisher in Cy Young voting.  The year following, he would have another decent season as a starter and assist the Giants win the World Series.

Ryan Howard

This one should be interesting.

In a different time, Ryan Howard would receive serious Baseball Hall of Fame consideration.  Howard was a fear power hitter who won the Rookie of the Year in 2005 and followed that up with a 58 Home Run and 149 RBI season (both league leading) not to mention a Slash Line of .312/.425/.659 that netted him the National League MVP.  The next three seasons would see Howard belt over 40 and he would have two more of 30 and also would have two more RBI Titles.  More importantly he helped the Phillies win the World Series in 2009 and he was named the NLCS MVP that year.

Prince Fielder

Prince Fielder reminded everyone of his dad Cecil, and how could he not?
