Kevin Appier
Brett Saberhagen
Jimmy Key
Troy Glaus
Troy Glaus is a good one. Scott Rolen too. I always forget about Glaus on Spocle quizzes.

100% you would.
Though we could also get into Todd Z.
Pete Inky Dinky Do
Bob Hamelin
Darren Daulton
The most ab's Hamelin ever had was 318. Even in his ROY season, he only had 312.
Incaviglia had power. '96 O's obtain him, thinking that the thing that team really needed was more power lol. Some solid years, but not a guy that I think of here.
Daulton key cog on that '93 Phillies team. Not great overall, but did have a couple of really big years.

Who was the slugging Cubby we wanted all those years who played 1B? We got him at the end, per usual. Drawing a blank. He was good. Kinda proves the point, no?

I remember the hype Hamelin had during the strike year and the extra-quick flame-out. It was pretty crazy.
I just looked at Daulton's stats, and YIKES. I remembered him a LOT more fondly than he actually was. Holy crap.
A lot of closers that flamed out would be here. Eric Gagne, Brian Wilson, etc...

Miguel Tejada?
David Justice?
Jesus, there's a whole slew of A's pitchers we can put here.

Great choices there. We remember Tejada as Oriole fans, but in-general I don't think he's going to be a guy that is remembered by most MLB fans.

Sterling Sharpe. Someone under the age of 30 would rarely know
I remember when Shannon was just his little brother.
In the same vein, Antonio Freeman. Made what is still the best catch I've ever seen. "He did WHAT!?!"

David Segui definitely got injured while you typed that.
