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.

Coco Crisp

Perhaps the possessor of one of the most fun names in baseball, Coco Crisp put together a solid career that saw extended success in Cleveland, Boston and Oakland.  Crisp collected over 1,500 Hits in his career, his highest single season total where in 2005 as a Cleveland Indian he accrued 178.  Later in 2007 as a member of the Boston Red Sox he helped bring the World Series title to Fenway.  Crisp would also be known for his speed where he stole 20 or more bases 8 times, his highest being a league leading 49 in 2011 as an Oakland Athletic.
