    Random Brave thread

    Basically name a player, preferably the most random Brave player you can think of, that you didn't think would ever be Brave, or perhaps had a brief moment of infamy as an Atlanta Brave.

    I'll start:

    Derek Lee.

    Nearly forgot entirely that he was a Brave until someone mentioned him the other day. I remember thinking he was going to be big for us when we got him. And now that I look at his stats, he ended up performing much better than I remember him doing.

    Nick Esasky. He was coming off a big year 30 homers at the age of 29 and then 30 some odd at bats with the Braves then he was done playing baseball.

    Will Rogers.

    Really had no clue he was a native until I looked it up. They sometimes sneak at you in the worst places.

    He got 300 ABs for us one year. What year? I don't know, since I have no recollection of it.

    Armando Almanzar, 2004.


    Completely forgot he was on our team, until I was watching the new Bobby Cox:Driven special I DVR'd and saw his name on a uniform briefly walk in the dugout in a 2 second clip.

    Also, I never thought Rudy Seanez would have a second tour with us. Somewhat glad he won a ring in 2008 with Philly.

    Is he still pitching? I heard he has glue, cow sinew, duct tape and other household items to keep his arm going.

    Amazing that a guy whose arm was so fragile was able to pitch into his late 30s.

    Lyle Overbay may retire the trophy. Wasn't he hitless for his month?
