As I said at the top, I am only counting how they played as a player on the Boston Red Sox. Lee Smith wasn't even on the Red Sox for 3 seasons while Bob Stanley was with us for his entire career. I am also counting his entire career not just one pitch or even one season. I am sure that if Lee Smith was on the Sox for one or two more years he would definitely take that spot.

Fair enough. But I never trusted the Steamer--he always made me nervous. He took the mound, and I got a beer. Of course, the Sox weren't known for a fabulous middle relief staff until, uh, this year. Besides--Lee Smith was an excellent tipper...and he smelled nice, too.
