Jeff Francoeur

Jeff Francouer was a first round pick who would secure four seasons of 160 Hits along with a Gold Glove in 2007.  Francoueur would be a good defensive player over his career and would also record 160 Home Runs.

Javier Lopez

Javier Lopez had a good run in the Majors where he was predominantly used in middle relief.  Lopez did record 14 career Saves but far more worth mentioning was that he was a member of four World Series Championship teams, one with Boston and three with the San Francisco Giants.  Lopez might have a limited chance to get onto the Hall of Fame ballot but how many Hall of Famers have four World Series Rings?

Jake Peavy

In 2007 Jake Peavy made a case as the best pitcher in baseball.  Peavy won the Pitcher’s Triple Crown in the National League as a member of the San Diego Padres and had gone to his second All Star Game.  That was by far the highwater mark for Peavy as he never had a 12 Win season again, though this does not mean that this was the end of his success.

Colby Lewis

Colby Lewis would carve together a relatively decent career in the Majors where his best work occurred during his second run with the Texas Rangers.  In 2010, he helped the Rangers win the American League Pennant and won 2 Games in the ALCS and another one in the World Series, though Texas failed to win the title.  Overall he won 77 Games in the Majors.
