He still holds the Rockies saves record and threw a no-hitter as a rookieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04833684531103863671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31467474.post-65503940583339734682009-01-18T15:44:00.000-08:002009-01-18T15:44:00.000-08:00I wanted to make a comment on this quote about Qui...I wanted to make a comment on this quote about Quinton McCracken. <BR/><BR/>"I thought he was going to be a star.<BR/>Well, he wasn't... but he played in 12 seasons in the big leagues and flashed that speed early in his career."<BR/><BR/>I grew up with Quinton and won a state championship with him. He's one of the best people you could ever call friend. I know he didn't make A-Rod status but, he was the Tampa Bay Devil Rays VERY FIRST TEAM MVP!! That is a huge honor in my eyes!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31467474.post-76948477762685827092008-12-19T15:50:00.000-08:002008-12-19T15:50:00.000-08:00I love this idea.

Definitely challenging to come up with pitchers for Colorado, though, I think you did a great job narrowing it down. <BR/><BR/>The tweaks I would make to the all acquired team are:<BR/><BR/> - Joe Girardi should probably be the starter there. Brent Mayne absolutely deserves a roster spot just based solely on his relief pitching victory. Actually, some people might suggest he also deserves a spot in the bullpen of the all acquired team. <BR/><BR/> - Switching Ellis Burks to the lineup and Willy Taveras to the bench. Burks had an MVP caliber season in 1996, while Taveras failed to impress me in his two years. <BR/><BR/>- I'd give Steve Reed or Curt Leskanic a slight edge over Darren Holmes in the pen. <BR/><BR/>- I can't stand the thought or site of Jeff Cirillo. He was one of the guys whining about the humidor and throwing around baseless accusations. He's off, Kaz Matsui is on. <BR/><BR/>The home grown team is pretty much right on the money. The only questionable call is Clemente, but given his lineage it's cool to include him on the team. If forced to make choice, I'll probably take Jeff Baker there. <BR/><BR/>Well done. I'll be checking out the rest of your teams as well. <BR/><BR/>Mark Townsend<BR/>Bugs & CranksMark Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265652923869365181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31467474.post-88063913227282350512008-12-19T15:40:00.000-08:002008-12-19T15:40:00.000-08:00You forgot Joe Girardi.

He should definitely be the starting catcher for the acquired team.<BR/><BR/>Also, Curtis Leskanic should be on there, at least for being the guy on the mound when they clinched the Wild Card in 1995.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
