3B - Drew Henson, 2002-03 Former Michigan QB, rumor is The Boss (a Buckeye like myself) paid Henson to keep him off the gridiron. Somehow was rated a top-10 prospect by Baseball America in 2002 despite underwhelming minor league numbers. Went back to football after just 9 MLB at bats, but flopped there, too.  |

Clipper Maybe, but he never showed much of anything above AA ball with the bat hitting just .234 with a .286 OBP in 1339 plate appearances in AAA. I suspect he was bound to be a journeyman at best in MLB. |

Hal Brown Jim Brennman Todd Williams Those are seriously deep cuts Clipper. Knuckleballer Hal "Skinny" Brown is the only one of those guys I even heard of, mainly with Baltimore. I see Todd Williams got into 15 games with the 2001 Yankees -- I was living in NYC at the time and still don't remember him. Brett Jodie and Christian Parker from that team I remember, but not Todd Williams. |

Old man Irsay was running the Team at the time and we were a mess. Elway's dad despised Colts HC Frank Kush, who had a reputation of being a red azz. Colts chose Kush over Elway. Ironically, Kush was fired 1 year later. I've always wondered if Elway would have really sat out a year rather than eventually signing. I suspect he wasn't bluffing but we'll never know. |
