Rich Garces
El Guapo, "the handsome one," was a fan favorite at Fenway and established a passionate cult following for seven seasons. He was one of the league's best setup men for two seasons. In 1999, Garces went 5-1 with a 1.55 ERA, and earned a win in the ALDS. He then went 8-1 with 69 strikeouts in 2000. His weight and arm issues contributed to his decline and he was released by the Sox in '02. (El Guapo's stats and facts)
