Bill McCrary

New York Bombers (2000-2001)
In the 2000 Inaugural Draft, McCrary was drafted in the eighth round by the New York Bombers. McCrary had a relatively tough year in his first season, working a 5.54 ERA for a 3-4 record in 63.1 innings. However, he threw a high 24 bases on balls, something his detractors like to remember him. His first Championship Series appearance was a complete disaster, losing one game in two starts with a high 8.22 ERA.

The next year, McCrary improved his record to 4-2 and lowered his ERA of half a point, down to 5.04. He still struggled with his numbers of bases on balls thrown, earning 26 in 2001. On the bright side, McCrary was awarded a Gold Glove Award for his defensive work.

In 2002, McCrary started to struggle a bit, with his already high ERA increasing and had a really rough year on the mount. New York grew tired of the pitcher's struggles and dealt him to Boston during the offseason, in exchange for center fielder Morgan Lynch.

Boston Bandits (2003-
After he was traded to Boston, it was confirmed that he will be in their starting rotation, after concerns that he would be relegated to the bullpen.
