Can we name these TEAM USA players ONLY by their stats?

[@browell44]

Putz with four 30+ save seasons, barely over 3 ERA, and 138 ERA+ across 12 seasons with only 1 AS game is kinda crazy

[@floydfanTN]

I thought for sure he had some Milwaukee years where he had JJ Hardy as a Battery mate.

[@zeeks23]

Once again suggesting “unique first names” as a theme. Players who are the only MLB players with their first name. Adeiny Hechavarria, Lastings Milledge, Yasmani Grandal, etc.

sneaking Lastings Milledge in there I see :P

Chris Archer acquired for Mark DeRosa and traded for Matt Garza. Cubs should have kept him.

[@weirddude8885]

Easy and trivia traded for each other wow

[@ammoses3]

Traded by cleveland, who was also a part of the trade that sent JJ Putz to the Mets.

[@ILoveMisty1985]

Man Hard really threw me for a loop for a while, but then I thought about the theme and it eventually came to me. Good job to BBD building on his third place lead. Here's hoping out he can catch Jake and Max. Still hoping for a round of 90s All-Stars

[@prestonjones20013]

Jake knows Ball

[@dmoneyyy1863]

I loved watching JJ Putz close games for the M’s. Got him instantly when his stats popped up

[@listey]

3:30 Even more impressive getting all those strikeouts considering he was sick throughout.

I've tried to figure out if a closer is JJ Putz so often in this game that when he actually came up, I was ready lmao

[@nikolasdrury1288]

Jolly can’t usually sneak any Mariner past me, but definitely not that big fucker that’s gonna walk the world.

[@jessicabrand4142]

3/3 and trivia. Back to back ASG stories for medium and hard players here. I always think of medium for his huge triple off Hoffman in the 9th in 2006. Hard is interesting for 2007: So the Tigers are facing his Mariners right after the ASG that year, so AL manager Jim Leyland makes a point to put Mr. Hard out there extra long by pitch count so Seattle is less likely to have him available immediately after.

[@mightymacheezmo6262]

Let me tell you, the holiday has ruined me today. I saw the notification and my immediate thought was "Why are we releasing Ref Guess on a Saturday"?

[@B13-f9m]

Wow mark derosa love him saw him in the minors a bunch always followed his career underrated ultimate utility guy

[@baseballdude1998]

The answer had to be DeRosa, like all the previous managers were old dudes

[@TheLastPrime38]

Putz is an underrated great closer. Hall of very good for sure. I think just a bit below Joe Nathan

[@nseifner]

JJ Putz not in my book. My brain froze.

[@JamieAtSLC]

Couldn’t get it out of my head that the Hard was Tom Wilhelmsen, even though it’s like 5 years too early.

[@spencerlouie]

Shelfy saying “his name is initials” immediately threw JJ putz in my head

I got the hard right away but didn’t even get easy at all. Chris Archer is a name I have long forgot

[@NoUploadJustComment]

That was surprisingly easy all around.

How many of Archer's SOs were of Chris Davis?

[@ezrakoppel555]

Medium and Hard were immediate for me. Only easy took some thinking somehow

[@rbatt63]

Not going Willie bloomquist for hard is wild. JJ putz could have been an easy

Calling Michael Young an awful defender is an absolute absurdity.

[@kristopherwilson506]

Dude totaled -10.4 dWAR… that’s pretty bad-slightly worse than Jeter (-9.4 dWAR). One year with dWAR above 1.0. Eight years of below average dWAR. That’s bad. For comparison’s sake, Jeter was just a better hitter and played for longer, which is what separates his 71.3 WAR from Young’s 24.7.

I can’t stand how baseball reference annotates positions. Just use letters for crying out loud!! P=Pitcher, C=Catcher, 1B=1st Base, etc. It’s not like there would be any duplicate letters doing it this way, so that’s no excuse. 😤😤😤
