Those hitters have ranged from future Hall of Famers to future teammates. Rivera has faced seven of his current teammates - Eric Chavez, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Andruw Jones, Curtis Granderson, Nick Swisher and Russell Martin.
While a major league general manager isn't healing patients or finding apartments, the job has its practitioners on-call at every hour. The action frequently accelerates as the non-waiver trade deadline approaches, as it will on Thursday.
