It's amazing what a few good months in the minors can do for a career.
There will be no second half fade this year. I, for one, welcome our new NL Central overlords.
I think you are correct. Chen is up there as well (10 teams). I think he has played for every team in the NL East and 2 in NL Central, AL East (plus in the minors for Toronto) and AL Central. Gio struck me as someone who has long been a top prospect but was moved 4 times, IIRC. Sort of the Brett Wallace of pitchers. Though after this year, I don't think Gio is going anywhere anytime soon.
Edit: Per wikipedia Dotel has the record of 13 teams and Morgan is second with 12.

Code:Player Years Franchises Leagues Octavio Dotel 1999-2012 13 2 Mike Morgan 1978-2002 12 2 Matt Stairs 1992-2011 12 2 Ron Villone 1995-2009 12 2 Gus Weyhing 1887-1901 11 4 Joe Gerhardt 1873-1891 11 3 Deacon McGuire 1884-1912 11 3 Paul Bako 1998-2009 11 2 Miguel Batista 1992-2012 11 2 Royce Clayton 1991-2007 11 2 Kenny Lofton 1991-2007 11 2 Terry Mulholland 1986-2006 11 2 Dennys Reyes 1997-2011 11 2 Julian Tavarez 1993-2009 11 2 Rick White 1994-2007 11 2 Todd Zeile 1989-2004 11 2 George Bradley 1875-1888 10 4 Orator Shafer 1874-1890 10 4 Dan Brouthers 1879-1904 10 3 Jack Doyle 1889-1905 10 3 Paul Hines 1872-1891 10 3 Russell Branyan 1998-2011 10 2 Ken Brett 1967-1981 10 2 Bruce Chen 1998-2012 10 2 Tommy Davis 1959-1976 10 2 Alan Embree 1992-2009 10 2 Davy Force 1871-1886 10 2 Jose Guillen 1997-2010 10 2 Roberto Hernandez 1991-2007 10 2 Kevin Jarvis 1994-2006 10 2 Dan Miceli 1993-2006 10 2 Bob Miller 1957-1974 10 2 Pop Smith 1880-1891 10 2 Russ Springer 1992-2010 10 2 Brett Tomko 1997-2011 10 2
So Mike Morgan, Ron Villone, Paul Bako, Royce Clayton, Dennys Reyes, Russ Branyan, Bruce Chen, Jose Guillen, Kevin Jarvis, Russ Springer and Brett Tomko all spent time with the Reds. Interestingly, almost all of them played for the Reds during the JimBo regime. It only felt frenetic because it was.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
The Pirates got themselves a future Cy Young winner. Congrats.
It's gonna suck facing a future Cy Young winner on the Pirates next season.
I think the real question here is "who will Stewart be pitching for next season"?
