2007

On a per-at-bat basis, Rivera had one of the worst-hitting seasons in the American League last year--right up there with Edgardo Alfonso, Kevin Witt, and Antonio Perez. Some credit should go to the Mariners` pizza-delivery development program, which saw Rivera as a full-time backup despite having fewer than 70 career plate appearances at Triple-A. Note to Bill Bavasi: You don`t get your players in 30 minutes or less. You get them when they`re ready.

2005

A collapse of a season, in which Rivera wore down and didn't hit at all. Figure him as a backstop with an arm—check out those defensive numbers. Mike Matheny became a rich man, so anything's possible.
