Kirby never became a starter in Minnesota while being stuck behind Jim Eisenreich. Minnesota traded him to Cleveland in 1988 where he started for the next 5 years but never got off the ground, statwise. He did win 4 Gold Gloves before retiring in 1995.

Dana came up to the show in 1990 with the Redsox. He was traded after 14 starts to the Whitesox, where he played the next 8 years before beign traded to Arizona in 1998. His best year was the 1990 season where he went a combined 13-11 3.22 ERA with Boston and Chicago. He retired after the 1999 season.
He has a career record of
56-76 with an ERA of
4.97.
Brad came right up and started for the Twins in 95. He played with them till he was traded in 99 to Tampa. Too bad because the Twins won the World Series in 99
He's
63-54 record with an ERA of
4.36. He's pretty much how he was in real life. 200+ innings, 4+ ERA, 150+ K's. A horse.
Mr. Robinson played for the Dodgers for 9 years before being traded to the Whitesox before the 1956 season. Spent his first 3 years as a back-up to Ed Stevens before winning the starting job in 1950. He had a breakout year hitting .302 with 30 homers and 86 RBI's but unfortunately this was his peak.
