How many teams do you have to be on to ****officially**** be a journeyman??

 

[Buckfast 1]

Over the last several years, I've become a big Ty Wigginton fan. He's managed to play on 5 different teams in 8 years in MLB. In 2006, it was nice picking up a free agent off the waiver wire who had multi-position eligibility and put up 24 HRs and 80 RBIs as a the all-purpose utility player for the Devil Rays. Plus, you gotta love the nickname "Wiggy" and his general hard-nosed underdog attitude.

Mike Devereaux (made over $10MM as a ballplayer somehow)

Without looking I would guess it came after the 1995 NLCS when he DESTROYED the reds. My dad will never forget him....He hated him.I asked for a Mike Devereaux jersey for Christmas....it didnt happen

Interesting, I just looked up his stats in the NLCS and he didnt "kill" the reds at all. Hell I was 11 years old, his 1 HR in the series musta been a big one.I probably did some sorta golden sombrero dance around my dad. I just remember some serious celebrating on my part.

I've always really like Endy Chavez. He's now on his 6th team and I still think the Mets are idiots for never really giving him a shot to play everyday.

He's not the greatest player, but he always played hard, played great defense and made things happen. Not sure how such a soft team with no heart never properly valued a player like Endy.

Then, of course, there was the catch.

A Journeymen WIS???

Just a thought....

A Journeymen WIS???Just a thought....

Journeyman is hard to define but I know one when I see one. Possible criteria:Member of >X of teams: would include guys like Sheffield and Cone who've moved around but have very impressive season and career stats.Long and (mostly) undistinguished career: Active service of >X years with less than a threshold number of HRs, Ws, etc.Hall of Fame consideration: I don't know if we could find a list of players who were bounced on their first and only year on the HoF ballot. I have no idea whether this list would be deep enough to fill a draft pool.

Bill Madlock is a stretch as a journeyman in my book. 4 time batting champ, career 305 avg and started over 1700 out of 1806 games in his career. He finished in top 20 mvp voting 7 out of 15 seasons.

But he did play on a lot of teams.

I would go with number of teams, maybe 4 or 5. Would be extremely interesting and tough to draft for.
