Many might know that Julian Tavarez played for the Colorado Rockies considering he played for eleven teams and only one season in Denver. Tavarez was on arguably the best Rockies team that didn’t make the playoffs.
The year was 2000 and the Opening Day starters included Todd Helton, Larry Walker, Jeff Cirillo, Tom Goodwin, Mike Lansing, Neifi Perez and Brent Mayne. The team went 82-80 but the division was particularly stacked as the Rockies finished forth in the division.
Tavarez started his career with the Cleveland Indians where he became an elite pitcher out of the bullpen.
