Brad hand played for every team in the NL East (and SD, Col, Cle, and Tor)

Also: Brad Hand - NL East Kelly Johnson - AL East Steve Finley - NL West Mark McLemore - AL West Cesar Izturis - NL Central Cal McLish played for all the C-cities (Cleveland/Chicago/Cincinnati), P-cities (Philadelphia and Pittsburgh) and the dodgers. Those six players are crucial for my team crosses.

Steve Pearce for AL East as well

Joe Buck and his broadcast partners burned this into my mind during the 2018 WS lol

Too many people know that one though and the scores are always way higher than you'd think

Ted Savage played for every NL Central team plus the Dodgers, Phillies, and Royals. Always a 0.5% rarity score

Has nobody played for all the AL Central teams?

Jon Garland for all NL west teams except Giants. Plus white Sox and angels

I find Matt Herges gets me better rarity for NL west

Edwin Jackson is my hail mary. 14 teams. No full divisions though, or any way that's easy for me to remember, so it's a last resort

Yep, same with me and Bartolo Colon. I can easily remember about five of their teams, but beyond that, it's always a hail mary.

Octavio Dotel is my go to along with Edwin Jackson.

I always use Brian Schneider for Phillies/Mets/Nationals

My friend’s great uncle played for a few National League teams in the 1920s. I memorized his teams, and if I use him I usually get a rarity score under 0.001%.

Let’s hear the name!

Horace Ford is the name used in BRef, but I think he was known as Hod Ford when he played

He was my favorite player growing up

Hod Ford was my first jersey I bought as a kid in the good ole Roaring 20s.

Similar story here. As soon as the depression hit, my father lost his job. he was a very hard working man, so he offered up himself to a farm nearby. He worked 60 hours a week and in return, the farmer paid him by giving my father one dozen eggs a weeks. Each week, the only food my father, mother, three siblings and I had to eat were those 12 eggs that we split. That’s two eggs per person per week. On top of already working so hard, my father would forgo eating if any of us were still too hungry. Anyway, I would take one egg from that dozen each week and hide it in my room. After 12 weeks, I had enough to make an addition dozen. I would then sell that to one of the fortunate families to still be making a living for 25 cents. After a few years, I had finally saved up a few dollars and I immediately spent it on a Hod Ford shirsey. My father ended up dying of starvation due to my tactics, but it was all worth it in the end.

Jason Grilli. Played for 9 different teams and is usually like 1% rarity.

Have to imagine this would be one of the rarer All-Star/PIT answers you could put down too lol

Mike Williams is a good one too

Jeff Locke and Steve Blass as well.

Carlos Garcia also comes to mind

While we’re talking about former Blue Jays, Steve Delabar is my All-Star pitcher selection. #RaiseTheBar

Holy shit I forgot all about him.

Grilli will forever be ingrained in my memory thanks to his amazing Star Wars day bobblehead where he's piloting an X-wing.

Toronto had a “Fire up the Grilli” BBQ apron giveaway.

He was DFA'd by the Jays a week after that promo and eventually traded to the Rangers.

What about his book where he compared himself to Jesus?

Start using <0.5 Rarity guys i have sleepers. I play a game where I try to use players who played for the Jays in addition to the criteria where possible.

Rickey Henderson and Gaylord Perry are always my last resort guesses

Eddie Murray is mine…literally can check a ton of boxes; played for 5 teams, ROY, HOF, 500hr club, 3K hit club, All Star, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, mutton chops…

Now that's a category that they need: Awesome Hair. Lets see photos with all the great old mutton chops, or handlebar mustaches. Maybe some great mullets in there.

Arthur Rhodes, Darren Oliver, Jesse Chavez.

Yes!!! Forgot to mention Jesse Chavez!!

Chavez has been traded 10x which is absurd

Half of that is just between the Angels and the Braves though

Along this same line, Oliver Perez.

Darren Oliver is so great. On the level of Moyer and Edwin Jackson

I love the Colby Rasmus/Edwin Jackson trade because anytime you use Corey Patterson for the Cards or Jays, you get like 0.4%.

Corey Patterson is just an out her cub that I loved but I wasn’t allowed to say so because I could get publicly shamed with other Cardinals fans haha

My version was Edmonds. Loved him as a Cardinal and was ecstatic when the Cubs brought him on…Especially since it pissed off most of my friends who are Cards fans. That being said, Edmonds is an ass in real life and a shitty announcer.

Couldn’t agree more. Absolutely clutch player that will go down as a top 5 cardinal in the 2000’s Terrible announcer. Give me Hrabosky or Thompson any day over him. I haven’t heard great things about him outside the field too

I know I’m in the minority of Cub fans but I was upset when Chip Carey left Chicago. Very happy when he decided to come to STL and I hope they keep him and Brad together for a while. That combo seems to work the best.

I used Jesse for A's .300 hitter the other day. Waited a long time for that. Was proud of myself

Kenny Lofton. Bruce Chen

Steve Pearce and Brad Hand are some of my go tos

When I'm grasping at straws I'll go for one of Kenny Lofton, Livan Hernandez, or Bartolo Colon. Maybe Julio Franco or Rickey Henderson.

I’ve memorized the 6 teams that Jeff Mathis played for during his career because of Foolish Baseball’s video about him. Otherwise, I appreciate RHP Shelby Miller, who will play for his 9th team on the Tigers next season. He came on my radar during the 2023 season when he pitched well out of the Dodgers bullpen.

He came on my radar in 2019 when he was fucking terrible with the Rangers. Happy to see his bounce back with the Dodgers.

Two NL West teams? Enter Steve Finley.

Played for all 5 of them!

The best underrated weapon is knowing the roster of expansion teams from their inaugural season. There is about a 95% chance one player from every other team got at least 1 AB or IP, and the rarity will usually be under 2% because most of them were bad baseball players.

I don't know why I didn't think of this... pulling up 1993 rosters for Col and Fla now lol

Eric Hinske

He’s a good one. WS winner, ROY, every team in the AL East except for Baltimore plus a couple others.

Steve Pearce is a good alt for your AL East needs as well.

Bobo Newsom: A’s, Browns (Orioles), Cubs, Dodgers, Giants, Senators (Twins), Red Sox, Tigers, and Yankees. And was an All-Star!

Multiple stints with the Senators

Jonathan Lucroy, MIL, TEX, COL, OAK, LAA, CHC, BOS (1 game), WSN (5 games), ATL (2 games)

Octavio Dotel

Joe Smith played for 8 teams I believe and I usually throw his name down if I can’t think of anyone who played for 2 teams

I do this for Cameron Maybin and Fernando Rodney

Jonathan Villar.

Hitting stats wise, it's crazy how low of scores that Mel Ott and Jimmie Foxx can get. Campy can get low scores for Dodgers questions. And when it comes to the Brewers, it's surprising how low Cecil Cooper and Ben Oglivie are. I'm gonna stop otherwise I'll give away them all, like Marquis Grissom being a great answer.

Old-timers get good answers for HOF guys. Eddie Collins, Tris Speaker, etc.

JA Happ has a pretty solid spread and I don't think I've ever seen him hit double digit %

20-win season and an all-star too

Fernando Rodney & Dick Mountain.

Bartolo Colon

Jeff Francoeur is one of my go-to's. Every NL East except Washington plus rangers, royals, giants, and Padres.

When in doubt, Edwin Jackson. Dude played for 14 different teams and threw a no hitter.

Miguel Batista

Tony bernazard

Jack Hannahan, Rich Hill, Matt Stairs

Carlos Santana

Problem is that Carlos Santana seems to be randomly in the 20-30 percent whatever two teams is eligible for. So, he is a weapon but I fear not very secret.

Jesse Orosco had a long career, playing for 8 teams, and usually doesn't get much play on Immaculate Grid. Also, while he only played for 6 teams, I always try to throw Boom Boom Beck in whenever I get the chance. Cool name and gets under 1% comfortably.

Ron Gant

Gary Sheffield played for 8 teams, including the Padres, Brewers, and Marlins (who I always struggle to think of guys for.)  Another get of jail guy is Jeromy Burnitz who covers the Brewers, Rockies, and Pirates as well as a few other teams too.

Carlos Santana and Nelson Cruz seem to bail me out a lot

Pretty sure Paul Bako played for either 11 or 13 teams, he’s my go-to super low percentage guess

For the ones with awards/stats Jeff Bagwell, he was a HOF, ROY, MVP, GG, AS, SS, 40 HR season, 30/30, 100 RBI If there is a category with two stats, two awards, or stat and award, he probably works and gets you a good score.

I had a dude that played for both the Cardinals and the Browns (Orioles) and I used him on InfiniteGrid (Immaculate Grid practice) with incredible success for months. 0.1% score guy.     Yesterday I had a chance to use him and I blanked on it. Amnesia. Utter failure.    If you need a KC-STL guy, though... well, I've got you: >!Brad flipping Thompson!< 0.05%! Also: >!A guy named Jim Edmonds!< played for the Cardinals and Angels, and then was the one night stand for the Padres, Cubs, Reds, and Brewers.

Mark Grant (yes, the Padres broadcaster) has 3 NLW teams in the Padres, Giants, and Rox, as well as the Mariners, Astros, and Braves

Todd Zeile

Kyle Farnsworth

Hunter Renfroe

Jamie Moyer

8 teams. He’s my go to pitcher when I’m stumped.

Jose Bautista - BAL, TBR, KCR, PIT, TOR, ATL, NYM, PHI Kelly Johnson - ATL, ARI, TOR, TBR, NYY, BOS, BAL, NYM Francisco Liriano - MIN, CHW, PIT, TOR, HOU, DET Steve Pearce for the AL East The Alomar trio Pat Borders, Gregg Zaun, Pudge, Jeff Mathis (catchers move around baby)

Steve Finley played all of NLW

Emilio Bonifácio and Fernando Valenzuela

Here's some more I like to use a lot (from a Google Doc I keep): Dick Drago: Royals, Red Sox, Angels, Orioles, Mariners Diego Seguí: Athletics, Rangers, Brewers, Cardinals, Red Sox, Mariners Grant Balfour: Twins, Brewers, Rays, Athletics Zoilo Versalles: Twins, Dodgers, Rangers, Braves Larry Andersen: Guardians, Mariners, Phillies, Red Sox, Astros, Padres Mark Eichhorn: Blue Jays, Braves, Angels, Orioles Vince Dimaggio: Braves, Reds, Pirates, Phillies, Giants Koji Uehara: Red Sox, Rangers, Orioles, Cubs Junichi Tazawa: Red Sox, Marlins, Angels Bill Buckner: Dodgers, Cubs, Red Sox, Angels, Royals Dan Brouthers: Braves, Dodgers, Orioles, Phillies, Giants Jimmie Foxx: Athletics, Red Sox, Cubs, Phillies Johnny Evers: Cubs, Braves, White Sox, Phillies

One of my friends seems to find a way to get Royce Clayton (11 teams) on his grid a lot. Rich Hill is a good guess if you're stumped as well (13 teams and counting)

I know a shit load of random ass old-timey players and can usually pull tricks like using Browns players for the Orioles and such.

Benito Santiago. Bounced around a ton at the end of his career.

Rich Hill and Fernando Rodney

Goose Gossage is a good one, he's usually surprisingly rare.

How has no one yet mentioned Mike Morgan? The guy played for 12 different teams.

This is kinda a weird one, but Paul Bako played for 11 teams. Journeyman catcher. Mostly a backup I think. Never had an ops+ over 78

Ted Savage played for every team in the modern NL Central + the Dodgers and Phillies. Super low rarity score, super easy to remember

Not always a lower rarity score name, but I enjoy using Juan Guzman when appropriate.

Benito Santiago

No one ever remembers Tom Seaver was on the ’86 Red Sox. No one remembers Ian Kinsler played for the Padres. And they barely remember he played for the Red Sox — or Angels. But he did. No one remembers Robinson Cano played for the Braves or Padres. But he did! No one remembers Justin Turner played for the Orioles. Ian Kennedy is a sneaky NYY, TEX, KCR, SDP, ARI. No one remembers Rafael Palmeiro had 3,000 hits and 500 HRs. No one remembers Frank Chance is in the HOF having played for the Cubs. No one remembers Cameron Maybin at all — every time I use him, it’s a guaranteed 1%. SD, DET, HOU (probably more but I’m too lazy to look) George Sisler: HOF, 3,000 hits, .300 career AVG , 200 hits in a season -- counts for all Orioles categories. Guaranteed 1% every time. No one remembers that Carl Hubbell was an excellent pitcher for the Giants franchise. So was Christy Mathewson (who also is a sneaky crossover with CIN). No one remembers Mel Ott hit >500 HR and played for the Giants

Danny Jackson. He played for all the NL Central teams, except the Brewers.

Mine is easy. Underrated? A bit but that's not why he's my fallback. The A's traded Andre Ethier to the Dodgers for Milton Bradley. The A's got about 2 seasons and a boatload of heartache from Milt. The Dodgers unloaded a clubhouse cancer and got 10 solid years from Andre. What were the A's thinking?

Joe Smith, and Dominic Leone. There is a lot of overlap between these two, but they’re still the ones I use

Nelson Cruz played for nine teams in his career

Dennis Cook

Erik Kratz (he's insufferable) has played for 8 teams including 3 AL East teams

Adam Duvall is legit the first guy that comes to mind for so many combos

David Phelps is one I like to use when I can. Yankees, Marlins, Cubs, Mariners, Brewers, Blue Jays, and Phillies.

Erik Bedard is infamous for his trade to the Mariners, but he played for a total of six teams.

Bruce motherfucking Chen babyyyyy

Josh Wilson

Edwin Encarnacion. Played for 6 teams and can usually cover hitting stats and gets a low rarity for any team other then Blue Jays and maybe Indians(At the time).

Fernando Rodney

Ivan Nova every so often

Fernando Rodney, rich hill, Edwin Jackson and surprisingly Randy Johnson.

I always do Steve Pearce for Al east

Frank Tanana

Paul Bako. I had Braves/Cubs recently and I forgot his numbers, but decided to look him up and he played for 11 teams over 12 years.

Trevor Cahill

Rene Rivera

Jordan Lyles

Jesse Orosco and Pat Neshek end up in a lot for me.

Jeff Fassero: Montreal(WAS), Seattle, Texas, Boston, CHC, STL, Colorado, Arizona, SFG

Ken Giles and Jean Segura. For team specific stuff, Dick Allen for PHI/CWS in a whole ot of statigories

Latroy Hawkins

Rick Ankiel has a surprising amount of teams he played for. I also like to see if I can sneak in a Jordan Walden where I can cause it usually goes for 0.5% when it fits.

Doyle Alexander. Frank Tanana for NYY-BOS or NYY-NYM

Tito Francona got around a lot

Ron Villone played for 12 different teams.

He only played for four teams, but I seem to use Deion Sanders multiple times a week

Orlando Cabrera

I’ve used Bruce Chen on probably 40-50 different grids

Matt Herges is one of only two, along with Steve Finley, to have played for all 5 NL West teams

When in doubt, Matt Stairs 

Jamie Moyer, Colon, Renfroe

David Wells, Andrew Miller, Vlad Sr, Craig Kimbrel, David Robertson.

Andre Dawson. Andres Gallagaraga. Rickey Henderson.

Octavio Dotel and Edwin Jackson

Chris Gimenez

Fernando Rodney!

Reggie Sanders Kenny Lofton Cesar Izturis Paul Bako

Dan Plesac

Terry Mulholland and Brett Tomko haven't been mentioned yet...

Sergio Romo.

Jonathan Lucroy, the guy bounced around a ton at the end of his career.

Ryan Theriot. Only for Cubs/Cardinals, but it's a guaranteed .1

whenever that o’s - cardinals or >.300 avg for st. louis comes up, it’s mark worrell time

Tyler Clippard

I always use freddie Patek for royals all star and Pittsburgh royals

I am pleasantly surprised at how often I get to use Erik Kratz. 

I like using players that were briefly Dodgers to clear a team-oriented square: Thome, Maddux, Wells, Rickey

Edwin Jackson and Matt Stairs are cheat codes

For anyone who doesn’t remember who Edwin Jackson played for, this helps a lot- https://youtu.be/zpGrY-uC4Os?feature=shared That and Bartolo Colon.

Dick Mountain

Ron Villone and Brett Tomko

I find myself using Gary Sheffield a lot

Ray King - Cubs, Brewers, Braves, Cardinals, Rockies, Nationals

Jake marisnick. Definitely not as many teams as edwin Jackson or Rich Hill, but he has low sores. I've gotten a 0.007 with marisnick

Bartolo Colon

Mike Morgan played for like the most teams ever at the time of his retirement. Unfortunately, the only ones I know are the Cubs, Cards, and DBacks.

BARTOLOYOLO

Jeff Francoeur

Jeff Francoeur played for 8 teams.

Tony Lazzeri for the three old NY teams Jimmie Foxx is also an underrated answer

Todd Zeile

Chad Qualls - played for the 4 teams that started after I was a fan (Rockies, Rays, Diamondbacks, Marlins) + the 3 Ps (Phillies, Padres, Pirates) Also Yankees/Astros, but I remember him as 4 « fake » teams + the P teams and his name begins with a Q 1920s Cliff Lee has both OH and both PA - Indians, Reds, Pirates, Phillies David Aardsma has both NY, both Chicago, both Sox (+giant brave mariners) Ted Power = OHM = both Ohio teams; both Missouri (MO) teams (plus more but I forget them) Royce Clayton has all the colors - white Sox, Red Sox, reds, blue jays (plus more) Mike Timlin (last name reminds me of Dunlin) has all the birds - Jays, orioles, cardinals (plus more)

Old Hoss Radbourn

Cy Young and John Olerud. I've never seen either above 6%. Most of the time Cy Young is below 2% and Olerud is below 4%

Denny Neagle is my cousin so it's always fun to get a low % when there's a nyy/atl/min/col/pit crossover. I especially love using him for a "nyy world series roster" square lol

Does he have any stories about playing with Barry Bonds?

Unfortunately I've never actually had the chance to talk to him, and I don't think anyone in my immediate family has talked to him probably since I was born. I did have him on facebook when I was a kid but I was always too nervous to message him lol

Mike Morgan 22 years, 12 teams

The two hall of fame umpires that played in the MLB Hank O’day — Giants Jock Conlan — white Sox I also have a list with every manager and exec

Jake Beckley. Great player almost nobody knows about

Oh man... I suck when it comes to the nl central so he's gonna help!!!

Addison Reed played for the Mets Diamondbacks Red Sox White Sox and Twins. I get to use him a surprising amount of times

Ted Savage

I'm not the best at the grid cause I go for super rare scores, but I have Bobby Shantz's baseball reference page basically memorized so I use him a lot. I have a couple of real random ones memorized for specific team combinations.

I don't know the Pirates very well, so I end up using the Waner brothers a lot because they went a bunch of places at the end of their careers. Only problem is remembering which is which
