So it's quiz time! Name the player who holds each of the following records. I've given each players active years as a clue.

The PR pitcher is probably best known as being a mainstay of my fantasy baseball team until he was traded to the Yankees, where I sold him for pennies on the dollar. He was an All-Star with the MFYS -- oddly, the only ASG of his career -- and then a postseason disaster, after which he was traded to Arizona. Started at least 32 games in 12 of his 14 seasons, and in the other two, he made 26 starts. Oh. That's Javier Vazquez.
