And no, obvious ones like Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Julio Franco don't count.

I went to the Rangers' game with the Angels on Sunday, and I couldn't believe that Hector Carrasco is still pitching, now with the Angels. He was the one who plunked Kinsler in the batting helmet and got tossed, sending Angel manager Mike Scioscia into a frenzy, which eventually got him thrown out as well.

But Hector Carrasco. I thought the guy was 700 years old five years ago.

And I'll add another to the list, Jack Cust, who is on this big-time home run binge with the A's.

Chad Durbin comes to mind immediately, is Terry Mullholland still around?

No, I think Mulholland retired for good a couple of years ago.

Another name that immediately pops into my brain: Darren Oliver, also currently a reliever with the Angels.

I'm impressed that Sidney Ponson keeps getting work

Well, he's going to have to look for another team. The Twins cut him a few days ago. And did you know that his first name is now Sir?

Smoltz, Glavine and Maddux don't count either.
