I remember being way to excited about Guzy early in his career, but the one I want to laud is Dave Hollins. His big year was 1993, the year the Phils went to the World Series. He came to the Twins much later when he was just about washed out of baseball. The played well enough for the Twins to flip him for.....

 

David Ortiz.

 

But mostly I liked him because his nickname was "Head." The man had an enormous head. It's most fun when you say it with a Scottish accent.
