Re: The All-NRI team

Use your memory, and cross check with the Google, I guess. Tony Clark checks out. Good one. The record's a little more ambiguous with Reed, but it looks like, yeah, he came in on a minor league deal.

How soon we forget.

Any other RFs come to mind?

Over to the mound... Chris Young? Figueroa?

Re: The All-NRI team

I got Byrdie in there already.

Obviously, any number of relievers can qualify. I'm grabbing a righty from 2004 and a lefty from 2006.

Both did well, but neither lasted beyond a year, and so garnered only 1.1 pitching WAR apiece. Surely, we can top that.

Re: The All-NRI team

Doesn't at least one iteration of Jose Feliciano fill that centerfield void?
