We all know the pain of watching talented players rot away in a sub-par organization, missing out on awards, honors, and post-season berths that they are really entitled to.

Here’s a few of those players who got out and are now chasing a ring with the Red Sox.

JD Drew

Remember this guy? He barely missed out on the Cardinals’ World Series year, leaving the team in 2003. Difficult to say whether his constant injured status was what was holding them back

Jason Bay

The poster child for talent wasted on a losing team.

David Ross

Not sure this one really commands the same nostalgia as the others.

Sean Casey

It’s nice to see people get out and succeed.
