While watching the Red Sox-Orioles game on tv tonight, I've decided to catch up with some of the names and faces in the ballgame and see how they've done in this dynasty.

Adam Jones, OF
Jones had a brief and unremarkable big league career, appearing in 240 games with the Pittsburgh Pirates from 2006-2009. Jones debuted with the Pirates in 2006, hitting .118 with one RBI in 51 at bats over 55 games. He hit a career-high .208 with the Pirates over 53 games in 2007. In 2008, Jones' appeared in 122 games but had just 216 at bats, hitting .185 and belting out the only two homers of his career. In 2009 he hit .167 in 12 at bats.
He retired prior to the current 2011 season with a .179 career average, 2 home runs and 16 RBI.

Josh Beckett, P
Beckett has been a frustration for the Baltimore Orioles over his 11-year-career, posting a lifetime 117-129 record and recording a 4.51 ERA in 345 starts. Beckett has been, at times, brilliant and has had several successful seasons (15-5, 3.25 ERA in 2003; 15-6, 2.60 in 2004) but has also been downright awful in other seasons (6-17, 6.40 ERA in 2009).
So far in 2011, Beckett has gone 2-5 with a 5.52 ERA in 13 starts with the Orioles - the only team he has played for.
A two-time All Star, Beckett signed a two-year extension prior to the 2011 season that will pay him $2.01 million annually in 2012 and 2013.

Coco Crisp, OF
Crisp has had few true opportunities at the big league level - though he did perform adequately to well during those opportunities - and is currently in the St. Louis Cardinals' farm system.
Crisp, 31, is a .278 hitter with 37 homers, 204 RBI, 252 runs and 46 steals in 657 games over nine big league seasons. He last appeared in the big leagues in 2009 with the Cardinals, hitting .158 with one RBI over 19 at bats in 21 games.
Crisp's finest seasons came in 2004-2006, when he was a regular at the big league level with the Padres and Cardinals. In 2004, he hit .322 with 10 HR and 56 RBI; .317 with 8 HR, 45 RBI in 138 games in 2005; and .256 with 15 HR, 65 RBI in 2006.
In 56 games with AAA Memphis so far this year, Crisp is hitting .246 with two homers and 17 RBI.

Freddie Bynum, 2B
Bynum had a short big league career, appearing in 422 games for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays from 2005-2008. His finest big league season was his last, 2008, when he hit .323 with 5 triples, 16 homers, 56 RBI, 56 runs and 21 steals in 27 attempts in 365 at bats over 121 games.
Bynum was traded by Tampa Bay to the Orioles for reliever Duaner Sanchez (19-24, 21 Sv, 4.24 ERA in 368 career appearances; 1-1, 2 Sv, 5.01 ERA in 26 games with Arizona this year) but never played with Baltimore at the big league level. Bynum retired prior to the 2011 season.

Brian Roberts, 2B
Roberts has spent his entire 10-year big league career with the Pittsburgh Pirates, though he is currently assigned to AAA Indianapolis.
Roberts owns a lifetime .274 average with 60 homers, 436 RBI, 565 runs and 1,085 hits in 1,205 games. An All Star in 2006 (.306, 44 2B, 14 3B, 12 HR, 67 RBI, 108 R, 38 SB), he has hit .224 with a homer and 8 RBI in 43 games with the Pirates in 2011 before being sent down to Indianapolis.

Daniel Cabrera, P
Cabrera has been a marginal pitcher throughout most of his career, although he was a Cy Young candidate with the Pirates in 2009 after going 18-6 with a 2.86 ERA in 32 games.
That proved to be an abberation as Cabrera's next best season was 2006 with the Milwaukee Brewers when he went 11-12 with a 4.17 ERA in 34 games.
He has gone 54-66 with a 4.70 ERA in 191 starts over his eight-year career. Thus far in 2011, Cabrera has gone 3-5 with a 4.64 ERA in 13 starts.

Alex Cora, 3B
Cora has been a serviceable substitute player for the Philadelphia Phillies for much of his 13-year-career.
A lifetime .251 hitter with 20 homers and 120 RBI in 572 games during that time, he has hit .278 with 5 homers and 20 RBI in 97 at bats with the Phillies so far this season.

Luke Scott, OF
Winner of the 2005 NL Rookie of the Year with the Milwaukee Brewers (.315, 50 2B, 22 HR, 99 RBI, 117 R, 22 SB), Scott has put together a nice career with a .270 average, 94 HR, 431 RBI and 484 runs in 951 games with the Brewers and Diamondbacks.
In 58 games with Arizona this year, Scott has hit .255 with with four homers and 22 RBI as the #3 hitter and leftfielder.

Nick Markakis, OF
Winner of the 2007 AL Rookie of the Year with Boston (.300, 25 HR, 95 RBI, 110 R, 27 SB), Markakis is a three-time All Star and owns a World Series ring in his six-year career so far.
He is a lifetime .308 hitter with 101 homers and 425 RBI in 688 games.
Markakis was traded to the Tigers by Boston earlier this season for catcher Julio Ramirez (.291, 4 HR, 23 RBI in 49 games). He had been hitting .247 with two homers and 8 RBI in 25 games with Boston before the trade, .348 with four homers and 17 RBI in 31 games with the Tigers since as the team's cleanup hitter.
