33. Kevin Ritz (Rockies career WAR: 7.3)

Kevin made it this high on the back of 2 really good years and 5 overall solid ones. More longevity at a Mile High than all but 2 on this list so far. So goes for a franchise that is barely old enough to have its insurance premium dropped.

His most productive year came in 1996 where he won 17 games, completed 2 of them, and pitched 213.2 innings accumulating 2.3 Pitcher WAR. He was the workhorse a team in its infancy needed.
