Jeff Quillen

Dallas Rangers (2000-2001)
In the 2000 Inaugural Draft, Quillen was Dallas' second round pick. He was the second pitcher to be drafted after Joe bin Wafeeq. Quillen started 11 games for the Rangers, winning five and losing four. He ended the season with 56 strikeouts and a 1.36 WHIP. His first season could be considered a disappointment if you compare him to other aces bin Wafeeq and Bryant Carriere, but Dallas decided to extend his contract for another year.

In his second year with Dallas, Quillen significantly improved his stats, starting 13 games and posting a 5-3 record. He pitched in 81 innings and lowered his ERA to a league-best 2.78. His efforts saw him win the ABA Pitcher of the Year Award and finishing second in MVP voting. He became a free agent at the end of the season.

Philadelphia Freedom (2002)
Quillen's demands were reportedly too much for other teams, but Philadelphia decided to open their doors to the ace, signing him to a lucrative one-year deal. Truly one of the best pitchers in baseball, Quillen was a welcomed addition in Philadelphia's roster, but he ultimately thought he was too good for the team and left after one season, with a 6-3 record, in 79.2 innings pitched.

Boston Bandits (2003-
Quillen was the best pitcher available on the market and ever team made him an offer. He claimed he received an offer he couldn't refuse by the Bandits, a 7-year deal with Boston.
