Game #42: Learning About Jorge Sosa

Jorge was originally an outfielder.

Jorge was a Rule-5 player claimed by Milwaukee from Seattle in 2001.

In spring training of 2002, the Rays plucked him off waivers. They traded him in 2005 for... former Red Sox great Nick Green!

Has been released by the Mets, Astros, Nationals, and Red Sox.

His most similar pitchers (addictively fun tool on the Baseball Reference website) are lots of other fungible pitchers, including some greats from recent history like Rich DeLucia, Albie Lopez, Kent Bottenfield, Willie Banks, and Tanyon Sturtzue, one of the infamous Yankees to be "Proctored" by Joe Torre (other notables: Paul Quantrill, Tom Gordon, Scott Proctor).
