Fame is Fleeting. . .

A quick perusal of the Atlantic League (Independent) Rosters shows the following names that were prominent among Sox fans . . .
Danny Richar, Joe Borchard, Toby Hall, Heath Phillips, Ehren Wassermann, Andy Gonzalez, Kris Honel, Bill Pulsipher.

Also showing up are Mike Lamb (Astros 05 Series) and Lew Ford (former Sox killer with the Twinkies)

Its amazing how quickly some will fall and also how long some players will continue to chase the dream. . .

Wassermann was soooo bad. I never understood the love for him.

Kris Honel? I remember when he was the can't miss pitching prospect. I thought that injuries had put him out of action for good.

Makes me wonder if the likes of Kevin Bierne and Luis Terrero are still hanging around somewhere...

Terrero is in the Mexican league and playing quite well (.370+ BA).

Beirne is in parts unknown,

Wow, so many 2007 players in the OP's post.

Twas the lost year.

Because he actually wasn't, in 2007 at least. He was one of the few bright spots in that horrific bullpen and then had a really good spring in 2008 and was one of the last roster cuts and had a sub-2 ERA in Charlotte. Sadly, that success did not carry over to the majors that year. He was really only effective against righties anyways because he had that weird motion. He was a good story though and an underdog which made me root very hard for him.

In a way I have to say that I admire how these guys are sticking with it.

Hall was the only credible major leaguer on that ex-Sox list. Borchard and Honel were #1 prospects who went bust, for different reasons. Richar and Philips were AAAA players at best, and Wassermann and Gonzalez were roster filler who never should have seen time with the Sox.

Pulsipher? Did we have him in the minors one year?

Mike Lamb was a decent hitter who fell off the cliff at the age of 32.

Rob Mackowiak played briefly with the Newark Bears and in 2010 was a hitting coach with Windy City ThunderBolts.
