Before his arrival to Tampa, Greg Vaughn had three 40 plus seasons of Home Runs.  While this was late in his career, and the Outfielder would still have pop in his bat and would go to his fourth and final All-Star Game in 2001 as a Ray.

From Japan, Akinori Iwamura played for years with the Yakult Swallows before he joined the Tampa Bay Rays in the Majors.  Iwamura played at Second Base and Third Base and had 140 Hits as a Major League rookie in 2007.  Iwamura had a better second season in the NL, with 172 Hits, and he would do well until the next year, where his age and injuries caught up to him.

If you just look at the back of a baseball card, the Major League career of Rolando Arrojo looks like a one-year wonder.  That is true, but there is a lot more to digest with the Cuban defector.

An eighth round pick in 2007, Matt Moore was called up late in 2011 and was called up late in 2011.  He only played three Games for Tampa that regular season, he was on the post-season roster, winning a game in the playoffs.
