In his first season as a Detroit Tiger, Carlos Guillen had a breakout season of sorts where he went to his first All Star Game with 20 Home Runs and a .318 Batting Average.  Guillen was not a one season wonder as he would be named an All Star twice more.  He would overall bat a solid .297 over his tenure with Detroit.
I wonder if it is a prerequisite to be popular if you are named Rocky?

That was certainly the case for Rocky Colavito as a Cleveland Indian, but it wasn’t that he didn’t have fans when he was traded to the Tigers.
With the flowing blonde hair and tall frame, Noah Syndergaard, has the nickname of "Thor".  Many days, he pitched just like it.

48. Jeurys Familia

While the third season as the Mets closer has not yet gone according to plan for Jeurys Familia, his first two seasons in that role were excellent.  Familia led the NL in Saves in 2016, which saw him also go to the All Star Game and receive a smattering of MVP votes.  2017 was a horrible year for the Dominican hurler as he was suspended for 15 Games for domestic violence and his play on the field also plummeted.  He was traded during the 2018 season to Oakland.  He returned in 2019 as a Free Agent, where he played for two years before departing again.  As a Met, Familia, had 124 Saves and finished 233 Games.
