Albie Lopez

Albert Anthony "Albie" Lopez (born August 18, 1971) is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher.

Lopez was selected by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the second round (48th pick overall) of the expansion draft in 1997.

Lopez was criticized for his poor performance on the team, which led him to sign with the Atlanta Braves at the end of that season.

Lopez then signed a minor league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2005, but was released on March 23, 2005.

During an 11-year baseball career, Lopez compiled 47 wins, 558 strikeouts, and a 4.94 earned run average.
