Alex Rios

Twice an All Star with the Toronto Blue Jays, Alex Rios was highly touted for years and for awhile he would live up to those projections.  He would quickly decline, though managed to have a comeback year with the White Sox in 2012 and went out a World Series Champion with the Kansas City Royals in 2015.  He finished his career with a more than respectable 1,778 Hits in Major League Baseball.

Adam LaRoche

With nearly 1,500 Hits in MLB, Adam LaRoche had a decent career in Major League Baseball where despite having what might be considered a vagabond career was won with over 250 Home Runs.  LaRoche would become best known for his 2012 season where he would win the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Award.

Aaron Harang

Predominantly known for his time with the Cincinnati Reds, Aaron Harang had two straight 16 Win seasons, the second of which saw him finish fourth in Cy Young voting.  Harang, who recorded 1,842 Strikeouts over his career, would lead the National League in that category in 2006.

A. J. Burnett

With a solid fastball, A.J. Burnett had a long career in Major League Baseball, securing 164 Wins on the Major League level.  Burnett always seemed to be on the cusp of possibly having that elite season, and while he never did, he did lead the AL in Strikeouts once and had over 2,500 Ks in his career.  Burnett made his first All Star Game in his last season in the Majors (2015).
