Lofton.

But wasnt he an All-Star that year? I seem to remember him being on the AS team but not playing due to injury.

What’s worse about this is that now they’ve already burned Martinez, Moylan, and Venters. If the game stays tied, it increases the chances of seeing Jesse Chavez.

That leaves Wagner, Kimbrel, O’Flaherty, and Chavez.
