Brandon Phillips played most of his pro career in the state of Ohio, four years in Cleveland, and eleven years in Cincinnati.  It was with the Reds, where the Second Baseman would have the best run of his career.

Brandon Morrow

Brandon Morrow's best seasons were with the Toronto Blue Jays, where as a starter, he had three straight ten win years (2010-12), and in 2011 he had 203 Strikeouts and led the American League in SO/9 (10.2).

Brad Ziegler

Brad Ziegler was a relief pitcher throughout his entire career, and the submarine-style hurler would accumulate 105 Saves.

78. Bartolo Colon

Bartolo Colon was a rotund individual, but pound for pound, he was one of the most charismatic players in baseball, and doesn’t that say something?

The Dominican hurler (who also had the nickname of “Big Sexy”) played for 11 teams over a 21-year career.  Don’t let the number of squads that Colon played for make you think that this was a journeyman.  He wasn't.  This man was a coveted pitcher for the majority of his career, and while he was only an All-Star four times, he was a Cy Young Award winner with the Angels in 2005, the same season he led the American League in Wins.  He won 247 in total and fanned 2,553 batters.  We also have to mention one of the greatest "big men" moments in sports, but Colon had his first Home Run in the Majors at age 41 with the Mets.  If there is anything of Colon worth checking out on YouTube, that might be it, or at least the most fun.

Was Colon a Hall of Famer, a compiler, or both?
