One and Done: 2007-2011

This is the eighth part of my new running theme, unimaginatively dubbed 'One and Done'. Here, I focus on cards of Reds players who, whether it be their only year in the bigs or their only year with the club, found themselves on the Cincinnati roster for only one season, yet long enough to sneak onto a card donning the Cincinnati red. That was a very convoluted sentence that I am choosing not to edit.

Today we're looking at 2007-2011. These five years saw 21 one-and-doners (8, 6, 0, 4, and 3). I have a card of over half of these, with 12. Let's do it to it.

    1. ive been using this source http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/cin/history/players.jsp which has these players in multiple seasons. looking at it, i see that each only had at bats in one given year, but must have been on the 25-man roster at some point in other years. in particular, josh hamilton was acquired in 2006 by the rule 5 draft. that's a pretty weak reason for the site to credit him with two seasons i suppose. maybe ill revisit some of these.
