Lifers

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 09:53 AM

There are currently twelve lifers in Major League Baseball. Each of these guys has had a big-league career of ten years or more, but only with one team. Some are obvious. Some less so. Name them all.

Our Yankees/Braves fan is right on all five counts. Seven more.

="Zvon"]Trevor Hoffman He made his debut as, believe it or not, a Marlin. One of those pictures that just doesn't look right.

You can field a team with them Jeter - SS Varatek - C Helton - 1B Biggio - 2B Jones - 3B Jones - CF Anderson - LF Hunter - RF - he has played there Sweeney - DH Posada - C/DH Rivera - P

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 11:56 AM

Anderson completes our exercise. Garret Anderson's crazy-looking stat line of 2007: PA: 130 BA: .264 OBP: .265 SLG: .411 OPS: .676 That's an isolated OBP of an almost-impossible .001.

anaheim - garret anderson edit... hmm... it appears as if my prior post was deleted, wherein i asked "hey, won't it be fun to name the longest tenured current lifers on all 30 teams?" elsewise, edgy's quote below makes no sense, doesn't it?

Mets - Tom Glavine 2003

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 05:04 PM

Mets: Reyes or Feliciano. Feliciano is controversial. Braves we have. Phillies: Burrell?

sharpie Jul 01 2007 07:23 PM

Smoltz and Varitek have never played for other major league teams but were acquired via trade by the Braves and Bosox respectively so they feel less like lifers to me than the others.

metsmarathon Jul 01 2007 09:00 PM

mets: pedro feliciano* (or jose reyes & _____ _____) phillies: pat burrell & _____ _____ * pedro feliciano debuted with the mets in 2002, but spent 2005 in japan. i'll claim that appearances in other leagues or other periods of time spent not under the control of the lifee franchise shall not be counted against the player, mostly as i don't feel much like doing all the fact-checking!
