I recall Todd Van Poppel and his cards... Once he went back down I saw him pitch in Nashville in 1999, trying to work his way back up. I thought he wouldn't make it back. But he did. At Nashville he seemed huge alongside the young AAA rookies. But it was obvious that he was thinking out there when he was pitching, and outclassing the young bucks in AAA most of the time.
When he made it back he was with the Cubs. He was at Cincy in 04, pitched in a bunch of games, even started a few. I saw him there that year. No idea where he is now.
Those cards were firecracker hot for a brief spell...
