Bryant Carriere

Boston Bandits (2000-
In the 2000 Inaugural Draft, Carriere was drafted tenth overall by the Bandits, establishing himself as their best pitcher. Carriere was regarded as the best left-handed pitcher when he was drafted and Boston put him at the top of their rotation. Carriere started 10 games for Boston this year, winning five and losing three. He ended the year with a 2.97 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 66.2 innings. The Quebec native extended his contract with a team, signing a one-year deal, days before the Championship Series.

In his second year with the team, Carriere really stepped up his game, winning a all-time high seven games in 2001, good enough for a 7-3 record. He recorded 61 strikeouts in 77 innings pitched. Carriere was instrumental in Boston's Championship Series win, going 2-0 with a remarkable 1.20 ERA in 15 innings. Carriere again extended his contract with the team.

In 2002, Carriere was straight fire. The leftie ended his season with a 6-0 record and a league-leading 2.47 ERA. Always known to be an intense competitor, Carriere was absolutely furious that the Boston Bandits lost the Championship Series and publicly expressed his concerns about the team's ability after the Championship Series. He declined the proposed contract extension by Boston.

Dallas Rangers (2003-
In a highly controversial move, Bryant Carriere signed a four-year deal with the #1 public enemy in Boston, the reigning champions, the Dallas Rangers. One of the best pitchers in the world at the time, it was a huge signing for the reigning champs.
