John Wetteland
PHOTO: Wetteland looks like he was just told that he has to wash the vets' jocks after practice. A love the glimpse of the batting cage behind him and what looks like a guy in a red jersey.
STAT: From 1992 to 2000, he had the most saves in baseball, by far.
ANAGRAM: John Wetteland = Handle jet town. Ironically, this suggests that he should have pitched well against Seattle, but we all remember the 1995 ALDS when he got absoluetly torched by the Mariners.
CAREER: 6/10
Wetteland really did have a great career. He walked away when he could still pitch, probably leaving 4-5 more good years on the table. His finale resume includes more than 300 saves, a stretch from 1992-2000 when he was one of the top closers in baseball, more than 1 strikeout per inning pitched with low hit and walk totals, one championship, and one World Series MVP award. Not too shabby.
