I've got a few that come to mind. I'm in a solo league, GM of the Red Sox. In the initial season(2005) I made a deal for Mark Prior. Gave up 4 good spects and Matt Clement. Prior was decent from 2005-2007 winning at least 12 games each season. But once Curt Schilling was traded in 07 and John Smoltz retired, he became the #1. And he sure pitched like it. He won 7 Cy Youngs over the next 9 seasons. He ended up with 318 wins and a career ERA of 2.78. Clement went on to be decent from 05-09 before a he suffered a career ending injury. None of the othe players i dealt turned out to do anything, except Hanley Ramirez, who still starts at SS for the Cubs and is a 1 time all-star.

Another from the same dynasty is Landon Powell. In 06, I dealt Jason Vartiek and a prospect for him and ****egoshi Hasegawa. Landon came up in 07', but suffered 3 straight seasons full of injuries. He finally came on in 2010 and ended up being a stud hitter for me. Lifetime average of .324 with 245HR's and 960RBI's. He could have done a lot better had he not been plagued by injury.

Andy Johnson was a 1st baseman i took in the 1st rd in 06. He was 18, and had great power potential so i took him. He came up in 09' and hit 35HR's and won ROY. He became the most dominant power guy in the league, finishing with a .245 avg with 678HR's.

Finally, my other favorite was Mark Bellhorn. He was a solid player and never made over 3mill. He hit 30+HR's 3 times, was a 4 time AS and consitently had clutch hits( 2 Game winning HR's in the WS. 1 in 06 and one in 09)
I enjoyed this dynasty alot back when those guys were playing, im gonna keep it running till the year 3000!!
