Nope...hint: it isn't related to their stats.

With all of them, you know you'll be getting to third base.

They all have names which work with the insipid three-beat Dodger Stadium cheer (as does Hee-Seop Choi)? Admittedly, "CHASE UT-LEY" is a bit of a stretch.

Last hint(s): you don't have to know anything about baseball to get the answer (so give it a shot, Ned).

And offhand, Scot Shields and Stephen Drew are the only other MLBers I can think of who also fit the bill.

Answer: their names are complete sentences (properly spelled and conjugated), whether they be present, past, or imperative tense.
