John Lackey

John Lackey is one of the few Pitchers in Major League Baseball to win a World Series Ring with three different teams (Anaheim 2002, Boston 2013 & the Chicago Cubs 2016) and did so as a key figure in all of them. 

Joe Blanton

A member of the Philadelphia Phillies 2008 World Series Championship team, Joe Blanton arrived in Philly as part of a mid-season trade to go for the championship.  He came from Oakland where he had a 16 Win season two years prior where he also finished 10th in ERA.  Blanton would later play for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Kansas City Royals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals and would retire with a record of 101 and 97.

Joaquin Benoit

Joaquin Benoit spent most of his career in the bullpen in various forms of middle relief over a 16-year career that saw stops in Texas, Tampa, Detroit, San Diego and Seattle.  Benoit would have two seasons where he surprisingly finished in the top ten in Win Probability Added (2005 & 2007) when he was with the Rangers.  He would have 53 Saves and 185 Games Finished over his career.

Jhonny Peralta

Jhonny Peralta spent the first half of his career with the Cleveland Indians where he had five straight years collecting 140 Hits.  The Dominican Shortstop was never an All-Star as an Indian but he would become one three times in the second half of his career, two with the Detroit Tigers and one with the St. Louis Cardinals.  Peralta had decent power with five seasons that would see him belt over 20 Home Runs and he did accumulate 1,761 Hits over his career.  Peralta was also a good defensive infielder and probably should have one at least one Gold Glove in his career.
