In a trade that many Braves fans still bemoan to this day, the Braves traded Adam Wainwright, along with Jason Marquis and Ray King, to the Cardinals for oft-injured outfielder J.D. Drew and Eli Marrero in the winter of 2003.
Marrero spent the early part of his career as a catcher - he even caught a no-hitter - but would eventually move to first base and then the outfield after winning a battle against thyroid cancer as a rookie in 1998.
