Jake Westbrook

Another member of the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals championship team who is eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2019, Jake Westbrook actually had his best years with the Cleveland Indians. Westbrook was used primarily as a Starting Pitcher and would retire with a record of 105 and 103.

Freddy Garcia

Freddy Garcia was a star with the Seattle Mariners in the early 2000’s but over the journey his career would be a journeyman with multiple major league clubs. Garcia would win a World Series Ring with the Chicago White Sox in 2005 and was also a two time All Star with Seattle.

Derek Lowe

Derek Lowe is one of the few Pitchers to earn All Star appearances as both a Starter and a Closer and was a big reason that the Boston Red Sox broke the curse and won the World Series in 2004 with a post season record of 3-0 that year. Lowe would spend seventeen seasons in the majors and posted good career numbers but not enough to generate a legitimate Hall of Fame shot.

Darren Oliver

While Darren Oliver is not likely to get a vote for the Baseball Hall of Fame the Pitcher went twenty years, a rarity for any player in any sport. Oliver was a starter at the beginning of his career but was mostly used in middle relief and finished his career with a 118 and 98 record.
