ron883 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Somebody mentioned Alex Rios in the game thread. Definitely a good choice, since he was actually solid. Rios is definitely the all-time @greg775 whipping boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Avi Garcia is a good one. One of my favorites was Tyler Flowers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't around back then, but didn't people also call Jermaine Dye either Princess Dye or Jermaine Died when he had bad games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Rob Mackowiak used to get a lot of shit as did Linebrink. Dotel was actually decent but picked the worst time to give up HRs. Edited July 1, 2021 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Javy was worth 4.7, 4.8 and 4.8 fWAR in his 3 seasons with the White Sox. It's crazy to see that. I remember him as the ultimate choke artist. Edited July 1, 2021 by ron883 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
