      OK, I'll try Davis-2013.

        Yanks P - Jimmy Key? David Cone?

          Davis and Soto are correct.
          In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

            OK, for the Rangers hitter, I'll guess A Soriano's almost 40-40 yr, sometime in the early/mid-2000's.

              Pirates - Reuschel? A couple of decent years in mid 80s.

                I had forgotten Soriano even played for the Rangers. That season actually is pretty low on the scale, mostly because he had a .309 OBP in a year where the league OBP was .330.

                      eld is good at this. although it helps a little to be coming in at the end, maybe.

                      and Feral got the White Sox pitcher! Loaiza, by WAR, had the fourth best season of any White Sox pitcher in the last hundred years, behind two Wilbur Wood years and some completely forgotten dude named Tom Bradley (http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx...316&position=P). One of the Wood years and the Bradley year were both 1971, maybe the league was super hard that year or something.

                        Nope, still missing the Padres and Phillies hitters. But Howard's season is just a hair behind the leader, and nobody had come up with him either.

                          Scott Rolen Phillies ?
                          Tony Gwynn ?

                            Caminiti and Abreu are both correct. Well done!

                              It's weird, the post below this is mine, and i started my post before this one posted. Just being at work cost me some right answers. How the hell did we both come up with Nevin?
                              Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                                Damnit, that's his name. I wracked my brain trying to remember that guy who pitched with Wood.
