Joe House

Dallas Rangers (2000-2001)
In the 2000 Inaugural Draft, House was drafted in the nineteenth round by the Dallas Rangers. His first season was a complete train wreck from the get go. He injured his hand early in the season and dragged the injury all year long, greatly affecting his performances. He wasn't used often by the Rangers, he only pitched in 14.2 innings, earning a 1-0 record and a terrible 8.52 ERA.

However, his second season was way better than the first, after his hand problem disappeared. He was Dallas' primary reliever, appearing in 39 innings over the course of 24 games. He significantly lowered his ERA down to 3.00 and earned a 5-2 record. His effort saw him finished second in the ABA Reliever of the Year Award vote. After winning the Championship Series with Dallas, House left the team and went on the free agent market.

New York Bombers (2002)
Attracting a lot of attention, House wasn't able to decide and finally signed with the Bombers in late May on a one-year deal. He crumbled under the big market pressure and find it really hard to find his composure during the game. He only appeared in 19 games and made an early exit late in the season and never came back in New York's roster.
