80. Bartolo Colon

Bartolo Colon was a rotund individual, but pound for pound he was one of the most charismatic players in baseball, and doesn’t that say something?

Alcides Escobar

A Milwaukee Brewer for the first three years of his career, Alcides Escobar was traded to the Kansas City Royals in 2011, where he spent the next eight years as their starting Shortstop.

271. Adrian Gonzalez

Born in the United States, but raised in Mexico, Adrian Gonzalez would have a very good career playing First Base in the Major Leagues.

Gonzalez first debuted for the Texas Rangers, but it was in San Diego where he first came into prominence.  With the Padres, he was a three-time All-Star and would secure four consecutive 30 plus HR seasons, including a career-high 40 in 2009.  That year, he led the National League in Walks (119).

After being drafted in the 17th Round in 2004, Lorenz Cain defied the odds and made the main roster for Milwaukee in 2004.  He only played 43 Games for the Blue Brew Crew before being traded to Kansas City as part of six-man trade.  The Royals treated Cain well, and he would win the World Series with them in 2015, but he returned to the Brewers in 2018 as a Free Agent.
