    Gotta say, as a lifelong Angels fan, I do appreciate the little break you took to acknowledge how freakin solid they were in this era, and how PERFECTLY they all fit this draft conceptually 🤣. I was honestly listening to this whole episode waiting for someone to pick someone like an Anderson or an Erstad or even an Eckstein. Those were my guys back in the day, I'm glad they get their due here haha!

    My draft (without taking what's on video):
    P: A.J. Burnett
    C: Charles Johnson
    1B: J.T. Snow
    2B: Brandon Phillips
    3B: Martin Prado

    Something to consider whenever an outfielder is remembered for having a good arm - iconic tosses like Mays', Puig's, Clemente's, and Bo's are great, but if there are TOO many memorable throws from an outfielder it might be because there's a lot of pop flys they're not catching... you know who I never remember for lasers from deep center? kenny lofton. he was elite and had an arm, but he was getting to everything before it hit the ground and lobbing it to his teammates while signaling how many outs, not chasing it down and barehanding it before launching it toward home to stop an impending run

    This is kind of a sentimental favorite, but Jim Eisenrich could sneak in.
    Had several seasons in .800 ops and topped out at .889.
    He lost some early seasons due to his struggle with tourrette's and one could argue he wasn't even an everyday player outside of '93, but he was always a key player who could hurt you at just the right time.
    Also, he's one of the '93 Phillies who DIDN'T turn out to be a huge scumbag. That and the great name should be the X factors that put him over the top.

    Wish one of y'all at least mentioned Hiroki Kuroda. Especially after that caller on Talkin' Yanks reminded Jake and Jomboy that he exists and is criminally underrated. He didn't really strike too many people out, but he was a grinder and actually had a better ERA+ and FIP than Cain, Bedard, and Sheets (according to BR) with pretty similar inning counts. At least Bailey mentioned Kuma, but I'd have veto'd him because of his 3rd place Cy Young finish in 2013. I was a little upset y'all didn't at least pick a closer for the bullpen, I may have gone with Koji Uehara or Takashi Saito.

    Jesse Orosco is the pinnacle of "pretty good" and consistency. But he did have a Cy young 3rd place finish once but if you cut that single year out the rest of his career is 23 years of reliable consistency.

    The steroid era sure was something. Richard Hidalgo with 44 HR and over 1.000 OPS and he finishes 20th in MVP voting. Sammy Sosa hit .320 with 50 HR the same year and finished 9th. There were tons of players putting up MVP caliber offensive numbers every year for a several year stretch during that era.

    Does Hideki Matsui count? World series MVP but career WAR of 21.2 (also Honorable mention to Adam Jones who's just over 30war)

    I’m shocked that Richie Sexson didn’t get taken in this draft! He had some MONSTER years and somehow even after a 12 year career he only had a 18 career WAR

      first baseman was probably a stacked position. lots of guys that fit this criteria. i’d say i’d rather have kruk and klesko because of the on base ability of those two. i’d take sexson oover konerko but it can go either way. sexson was definitely the best home run hitter of the four which i guess is the more traditional first baseman archetype
