LHP MIKE MYERS – 2004 BOSTON RED SOX

If you don’t remember Mike Myers’ time in Seattle, don’t worry—hardly anyone does. The southpaw reliever appeared in just 27.2 innings after signing with the M’s in January 2004 before being waived and subsequently claimed by the Red Sox the following August.

Myers had a rough go of it in his limited innings, averaging five-and-a-half walks per nine innings with an ERA of 4.88. The walks went down once he got to Boston and the ERA was lowered by over half a point, but he was far from a key cog to their bullpen.

However, the Red Sox carried Myers into the postseason, where he appeared in five games across the ALDS and ALCS in which he allowed three runs on five hits in 2.2 innings pitched. Myers was present for the World Series but did not make an appearance against the Cardinals as his team put an end to the Curse of the Bambino at Busch Memorial Stadium.
