	i like the position being given, it makes it more enjoyable however, what is the determination for how long a player has been on a team, because Soto only had one at-bat in 2005, he won rookie of the year in 2008. I think it would be more accurate to go from when they lost their rookie status.

	Bonderman's been a Tiger for 7 years

	JLKeip:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 13:13 GMT	3 points
	The time given was right on. If you make it tougher by removing the position, you should give more time.

	MrX:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 14:00 GMT	-3 points
	Jenks started out somewhere else (I think the Angels) and was released and then went to the White Sox

	slugga27:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 14:12 GMT	5 points
	I double checked this just to make sure. Jenks never played a game for the Angels, even though he was claimed off waivers by the White Sox. And just as I had thought, Varitek never played a game for the Mariners. He was still a minor leaguer when he was traded to the Red Sox.

	nushney:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 15:29 GMT	9 points
	Good game, but didn;t Soto win the Rookie of the Year pretty recently?

	jaspa:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 17:00 GMT	3 points
	In an era where team loyalty is nearly obsolete among players, these players give the fans of each team someone to reliably cheer for. I have a great deal of respect for players that earn their spot on this list.

	skellig:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 17:06 GMT	2 points
	Soto is only in his third season.

	deej:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 17:48 GMT	-2 points
	good idea, but needs more time, and i think the positions make it too easy, and you've omitted several people (hank blalock off the top of my head).

	deej:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 17:52 GMT	1 point
	no, soto is correct. He played sparingly in 05, 06 and 07 before his "rookie" year in 2008

	jaysee:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 17:59 GMT	3 points
	To my knowledge, Hank Blalock is not signed with any team. My only criteria for this was that the player had to have played at any time during any season with his current MLB team - and only his current MLB team. Soto had a few cups of coffee with the Cubs before sticking with them a couple of years ago. Varitek and Jenks played for minor league teams of other organizations, but never with the Mariners or Angels, respectively. Sorry for overlooking Bonderman. Not sure how that happened. I think I'm going to leave the positions/teams as hints. Some of them are obvious giveaways, but some are going to be just as difficult even with the additional hints.

	jaysee:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 18:04 GMT	3 points
	I've added Bonderman. If anyone knows of any of the "several" I have left off, please let me know. Blalock is not with a team, however if he does re-sign with Texas, I will gladly add him.

	deej:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 20:09 GMT	0 points
	Well, see, this is one of the problems with having "current" in the title of your quiz. According to Wikipedia, Blalock is with the Rays, so I understand why you didn't include him, but are you going to update this quiz as the season goes along if someone gets traded away? What about next year? It might just be easier to add "through the 2009 season" and then leave it as it is.

	Metsrule11:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 21:17 GMT	4 points
	i think add a little more time - only like one more minute-

	RCray7:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 22:20 GMT	5 points
	wow i didnt get crawford because i though lf was infield, im dumb

	lezardvaleth:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 22:45 GMT	2 points
	Missing Jason Frasor, who has been with the Jays since 2004

	JacobB1589:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 00:00 GMT	3 points
	You also forgot Manny Delcarmen, Scott Baker, Jeff Mathis, Jose Lopez, Frank Francisco, C.J. Wilson, Scott Feldman, Pedro Feliciano, Ryan Madson, Jason Bergmann, Ryan Zimmerman, and several guys who almost won the Cy Young Award last year (Felix Hernandez, Adam Wainwright, and Matt Cain, and a guy who DID win the Cy Young Award (Zack Greinke).

	Wakefield made his major league debut with Pirates.. way back in 1992.

	jaysee:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 01:15 GMT	3 points
	Sorry everyone - there were several that I overlooked. That's what I get for trying to do this while watching Butler/Duke last night. :) If anyone notices any others I missed, please let me know. I think I have added all of the above, and I have added a couple of minutes to the quiz. Thanks all for the input. I do try to get it right! :)

	Chris968:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 01:21 GMT	1 point
	Not sure how I got Manny Delcarmen when I didn't type him in. Same with Bergmann. I wasn't paying attention as to when they popped up but you might want to check that.

	jaysee:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 01:40 GMT	1 point
	@Chris968 - you probably took the quiz while I was adding them. Sorry about that!

	Blaise:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 03:19 GMT	0 points
	Wow. Pedro Feliciano. I got him, but how rare is it that a MIDDLE RELIEVER is on a team for that long? 66/75, Matt Guerrier --- clutchest guess in the history of sporcle.

	lftyg33:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 22:29 GMT	1 point
	how has bergmann had a spot on an ML roster for so long, let alone with one team? proud of myself for guessing him though

	David Ortiz also played for the Twins, which disqualifies him from this quiz.

	exapno:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 14:04 GMT	3 points
	great quiz - did anyone see where that Posada, Jeter and Rivera have now been teammates for 16 consecutive years - the first time that has EVER happened in MLB history?

	The_Hammer:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 19:03 GMT	2 points
	I think you should make the list smaller. Maybe 8+ years with the same team. I think it would make the quiz more enjoyable.

	poinsecurra:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 12:54 GMT	2 points
	Correction exapno, the first time that ever happen in ALL sports history.

	Etheridge2:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 13:13 GMT	-4 points
	Soto needs to come off this list, but otherwise good quiz, and @ exapno it isn't the first time that has happened, Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, and Jim Gantner were all teammates with the Milwaukee Brewers from 1978-1992 (15 seasons), not sure if it has been done by another trio or not.

	jaysee:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 13:52 GMT	2 points
	@Etheridge2 - Soto has played in each season for the Cubs from 2005-2010, thus making him eligible for this quiz. Granted, one season was one at bat in one game, but for the purpose of this, and his MLB record, he has now played 6 seasons for just one team.

	How long were Jeter, Rivera and Posada teammates with Bernie Williams?

	jaysee:	Apr 12th, 2010 at 13:11 GMT	2 points
	@Masternachos - Bernie was there from 1991 to 2006, so 1995 to 2006 - 12 seasons in all. @TJ - as previously mentioned, Wakefield played for the Pirates in 1992 and 1993.

	Rathmaskal:	Apr 12th, 2010 at 20:54 GMT	-2 points
	Varitek began with the Mariners I believe...

	jaysee:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 01:24 GMT	2 points
	@Rathmaskal - 'Tek was drafted by the M's, but never played for them. His debut was in '97 with the Bosox.
