If I had made the list based solely on statistics I could have easily put those players on this list. Damon and Dye were considerations, but I feel like I remember them more for what they did other places. Damon as a Red Sox and Yankee and Dye as a White Sox. Mike Sweeney is not on my list because I do not like him. I also wonder how his contract set back the Royals. I am not sure they would have kept and signed Beltran regardless, but he certainly forced their hand.

You're probably too young to remember them, but I'd add a bunch of late 70s, early 80s guys to the list. Frank White would be #2 behind Brett for me and guys like Hal McRae, Amos Otis, Dennis Leonard, and Paul Splittorff also deserve mention. pjbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891490376260774199noreply@blogger.com
