Have to agree with Seth on this one. Braun over Soderholm. Tovar and Ford are close - I probably take Cesar's 1970-1971 over Dan but to each his own on that one.
I often wonder if the series might have turned out differently had Pascual not run into arm problems. And even though Harmon had a good series, he too was not at full strength after the elbow dislocation. If's and buts....
Agree with order but on any given day I would flip Rod and Harmon. 10th spot? Would have loved to see Lyman's career play out in Minnesota. Smalley would merit some consideration.
I would agree for the most part (the lone exception being I would not have offered Graterol for Maeda without additional LA compensation). I still am shocked that Friedman obtains Betts and Price (at a conjectured 15-16M/yr.) for an unnecessary outfielder with rumored character issues and an average 32 year old pitcher - while not touching his vaunted farm system. If you want to be one of the big boys you have to act like one. No additional compensation.
