One of the stranger sports stories of the past is that of Rick Ankiel. Ankiel became a vital cog in the starting rotation of the 2000 St. Louis Cardinals and as a lefthanded pitcher possessing both velocity (his fastball was in the 95-97 MPH range) and wicked breaking stuff his upside was unlimited. During the Cards run to the 2000 division title Ankiel allowed only 7.05 hits and struck out 9.98 strikeouts...

Tim Hudson holds a special place in most Braves' fans hearts. He was acquired from Oakland in the winter of 2004 for Charles Thomas, who burst onto the scene in 2004 and gave the Braves a solid left field platoon with Eli Marrero and Dewayne Wise, Juan Cruz, who was a bright spot in a bullpen of retreads (and John Smoltz), and top prospect Dan Meyer, who is coming into his own...as a reliever...4 years...

When, nearly three years ago, the Mets added Carlos Beltran and Pedro Martinez, fans were elated. When, however, Minaya added Perez and Chavez and Valentin and Ambiorix Burgos and Orlando Hernandez and Eli Marrero and Julio Franco and Ricky Ledee and Jose Lima and Sandy Alomar Jr. and Jorge Julio and Duaner Sanchez and Geremi [...]
