'CAREER PATHS': March 2005

******************************

San Francisco Giants 1986, 88-89: The 24th pick in the 1984 free agent draft, Mulholland debuted with the Giants on June 8, 1986. He would go 1-7 that season and spend all of the 1987 season in the minors. After appearing in 9 big league games in 1988 and 5 more to start the 1989 season, the Giants dealt the 26-year-old to Philadelphia on June 18, 1989 in a five player deal.

******************************

Philadelphia Phillies 1989-93: Mulholland’s 4+ year stint in Philly would be the longest with one team in his career. It was also the place where he enjoyed his most success. On August 15, 1990 the lefthander pitched a no-hitter against his old team, the Giants. In 1991 he won a career high 16 games. In 1993 he made his only All Star appearance, helped the Phillies win the NL Pennant and started two World Series games. Following the season, with one year remaining on his contract, Mulholland was shipped to the Yankees in a five player trade.

******************************

New York Yankees 1994: New York was not a good fit for the Uniontown, PA native. Mullholland went 6-7 with a career high 6.49 ERA. He returned to San Francisco following the season, signing a one year contract.

******************************

San Francisco Giants 1995: Mulholland’s struggles continued in the Bay Area. He went just 5-13 with a 5.80 ERA. A free agent following the season, he signed another one year deal to return to Philadelphia.

******************************

Philadelphia Phillies 1996: The veteran’s return to Philly was short lived. He was dealt to Seattle on July 31 for Desi Relaford.

******************************

Seattle Mariners 1996: Mulholland started 12 games for the Mariners, going 5-4. A free agent once again, Mulholland signed on with the Chicago Cubs.

******************************

Chicago Cubs 1997: In his first stint with the Cubbies, Mulholland went 6-12 and was released in early August. The Giants snatched him off the waiver wire.

******************************

San Francisco Giants 1997: In Mulholland’s third stint with the Giants, he appeared in 15 games and posted a 5.16 ERA. Again a free agent following the season, he returned to the Cubs.

******************************

Chicago Cubs 1998-99: Mulholland proved to be a valuable part of the NL Wild Card winners. He appeared in 70 games (6 starts) and compiled a 6-5 record and outstanding 2.89 ERA. 1999 didn’t go well for either him or the Cubs, he was dealt to Atlanta on July 31 in a 5 player deal.

******************************

Atlanta Braves 1999-2000: Mulholland joined the eventual NL Champs for the stretch run in ’99 and posted a 4-2 record and 2.98 ERA with the Braves. He would spend the entire 2000 season in Atlanta, going 6-6 with a 5.11 ERA. A free agent following the season, he inked a deal with Pittsburgh.

******************************

Pittsburgh Pirates 2001: The journeyman appeared in only 22 games with the Pirates before being dealt to the Dodgers for Mike Fetters on July 31.

******************************

Los Angeles Dodgers 2001-02: After finishing the 2001 season in Dodger Blue, Mulholland appeared in 21 games with LA in 2002 before he was included in a four player trade to Cleveland.

******************************

Cleveland Indians 2002-03: After playing out the string with the Tribe in 2002, Mulholland spent the entire 2003 season in Cleveland, appearing 45 games. Following the season he inked a minor league contract with Seattle.

******************************

Minnesota Twins 2004-Present: Unable to crack the Mariners 25 man roster out of Spring Training, the 41-year-old was sold to Minnesota for just $1. He proved to be a bargain, starting the season in the Twins bullpen and finishing it as the 5th starter for the AL Central Champs. In July 2004, he became only the third man to defeat all 30 major league teams, when he downed Detroit. He signed a minor league deal to return to the Twins in the offseason and is expected to make the Opening Day roster.
