Tinsley was used a trade-bait for the Red Sox in the mid-90’s. He was traded from Seattle to Boston, then to Philly, and finally back to Boston for his second stint.

The outfielder never lived up to the hype. He was drafted 11th overall in the 1987 Amateur draft. He currently coaches first base for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

If you’d like to talk about an ultimate flop, Midre Cummings is your answer. Cummings never found his niche in the major leagues after being drafted 29th overall in 1990.

During his playing career Cummings was shipped all over — including time with the Pirates, Phillies, Sox, Twins, Devil Rays, Devil Rays, Orioles, and Diamondbacks.

On a positive note, he did score the tying run for the Diamondbacks in the 9th inning of their World Series win over the Yankees in 2001.

We’re not talking about the Puerto Rican Boxer Quintana, we’re talking about the former 1B/OF for the Boston Red Sox from ‘88 - ‘93.

Quintana’s mediocre numbers on a team that was much below average makes him an easy target as a pretty forgettable Red Sox player — although he does have a cool name.

Romine struggled to make it to the big club, and struggled even more to stay when he got there. He was heralded as a great teammate during days and he spent his entire career with the Sox.

Romine was considered the definition of a utility player along with comrade Randy Kutcher.

Baseball runs through the blood of the Romine family as Kevin’s two sons, Austin and Andrew, are currently playing in the minor leagues.

Why anyone would want a Randy “don’t call me Ashton” Kutcher signed baseball card is beyond me, but this is the only decent picture of Kutcher we could find.

This guy could play anywhere you’d ask him, which is nice, but his career .228 batting average in 5 seasons doesn’t help too much.

Kutcher and partner Romine graced the minor leagues together for a few years, getting their call ups here and there.

Easily irrelevant.

Another signed card, another unknown Red Sox player. Zane and his 5.61 ERA during the ‘95 season graced us all with one of the curliest mullets known to man.

What Zane is probably most membered for by the Boston fans is the walk-off home run that he gave up to former Boston catcher Tony Pena in game one of the 1995 AL Division Series (we were swept, by the way).

Thanks for sucking it up, ZANE!

The walking injury known as Tim Naehring never provided what Boston fans hoped for. He only managed to play in 547 games in 8 seasons with his highest total in 1995 when he played 126 games.

He was still liked by many Sox fans, though, we never were able to see his full potential.

Mediocre hitting and fielding stats help Naehring become a forgotten Red Sox player.

Cordero did have career highs in home runs(18) and rbi’s(72) with the Red Sox, but he’s most known for beating on numerous wives.

Cordero was arrested in 1997 for domestic assault charges, which he later plead guilty to and spent 90-days in jail.

Truly an embarrassment to the Red Sox organization.

*On a personal note, I remember being in Grandstand 31 when Cordero was playing left field one game. Fans, including myself, absolutely heckled the crap out of him…much deserved.*

And the pitch….back, back, back, waaaaaay back…..GONE!

All Boston can remember from Wasdin is he used to give up the long ball on a daily basis.

Wasdin was yet another first round draft pick that flopped. The journeyman relief pitcher is still playing after signing a minor league deal with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Before our present little man, Dustin Pedroia, there was Jeff Frye. Standing 5-9 and coming in at a stellar 165lbs, Frye was a contact hitter who could always get a good piece of the bat on the ball, much like Pedroia.

Also like Pedroia, he didn’t have too much speed for a smaller guy but he was a pretty good fielder.

An interesting fact about Frye is he’s now an agent and represents players such as 2B Ian Kinsler

Lansing was the first player ever to be drafted out of Wichita State University by an independent minor league team.

Lansing took over Jeff Frye’s job at 2B in 2000. He was nothing special as a Red Sox player. We’re pretty sure he was too busy taking testosterone.

Yes, Lansing was named in the Mitchell Report in 2007 after purchasing products sold by former Mets Clubhouse employee Kirk Radomski.

Bragg busted on the Sox scene in 1996 from Seattle and immediately excelled in his new role.

In 1997 he started in center field and played a very mediocre role on the offensive side. He was part of a trio of forgotten outfielders that platooned the Fenway grass a couple years later.

Nothing special, maybe an overachiever. Bragg now works as a hitting instructor for high school kids.

We’re not sure what was with the Red Sox, but they loved small-statured players in the later 90’s. Sadler was one of these guys, and the Red Sox were banking on his speed when they traded him in 1994.

Sadler lit up the base paths in the minor leagues, but that didn’t transfer to the majors (he only had 10 SB in over 300 AB with the Red Sox).

Sadler is now with the Diamondbacks organization. He tested positive for a “banned drug” and was sentenced to a 50-game suspension in 2007.

The coolest name in baseball, also a very sketchy looking character, Hipolito Pichardo took the hill for the Red Sox during the 2000 and 2001 seasons.

He actually pitched pretty well in ‘00 but started to unfold in ‘01.

Pichardo can make a case for being the long, long brother of former Red Sox pitcher Julian Tavarez.

Another great name, but Bryce Florie was a decent pitcher, AT BEST.

We all remember what he’s best known for — taking a line-drive off the face, causing multiple broken bones and eye damage. I remember the blood flowing out of Florie’s face the night it happened at Fenway.

Bryce tried to bounce back the next season but was later released.

A third bad-ass name in a row, Paxton Crawford makes our list. Paxton made Major League appearances in 2000 and 2001, his only big league experience.

Crawford was also named in the Mitchell Report and caused quite a stir when he mentioned him and other Red Sox teammates would openly talk about illegal substances openly in the locker room.

This guy is quite a piece of work.

We have a third brother to add to the Tavarez/Pichardo clan! Rolando came from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2000.

The lost brother pitched well for the Red Sox in 2001 but he was known for having a crappy work etiquette, and it started to catch up to him in 2002.

After the ‘02 season, we never heard from Arrojo again, sadly.

The speedy infielder started to lose his speed with age, and by the time he ventured to Boston he only produced 16 SB in ‘03.

What we all know Jackson for was his refusal to let outfielder Johnny Damon take control of a shallow pop fly, resulting in a collision with Damon. Jackson’s big noggin knocked Damon unconscious and that was it for his stay in Boston.

He is currently a free agent after being released by the Dodgers in ‘07.

This guy was supposed to be the real deal. The next up and coming 3B star for the Red Sox.

When he finally got the call, he wet the bed, both at the dish and on the field.

Veras was last seen playing independent league ball in 2006 with the New Jersey Jackals.

Leskanic only spent about half a season with the Red Sox. He pitched well in the regular season, having a 3.58 ERA in 27 innings, but his post season was one to forget. The Yankees tore him apart and he ended with a 10.12 ERA in the ‘04 World Series run.

Let’s make note though that Leskanic was at Fenway this year, along with McCarty and Daubach representing the ‘04 World Series team during the Red Sox’ ‘07 World Series ring ceremony.

That was absolutely absurd.
