    Jeriome Robertson, who won 15 games as a rookie with the Astros in 2003, died late Saturday night after crashing his motorcycle in his hometown of Exeter, Calif.

    Not as popular as Lima but he was part of the pitching staff back in 2003 had 15 wins as a young pitcher.

    Robertson, 33, went 15-9 to help the Astros to second place in the National League Central in 2003. He finished seventh in the NL Rookie of the Year voting.

    Robertson's success and his Astros career were abbreviated. At the end of spring training the following year, he was traded to Cleveland for outfielder Luke Scott.

    Robertson appeared in eight games for the Indians, going 1-1 before being traded to Montreal. He had minor league stints in the Cincinnati and New York Mets' organizations but never made another major league appearance.

    He was released by the Mets in 2006 and played in the Atlantic and Mexican leagues before leaving baseball in 2007.

    A beast? He was pretty horrible. One of the luckiest 15 win seasons ever.

    I thought of him as an overachiever. Didn't have great stuff but put in a solid season for us.
