[saucywombat]

Great group of players. Maddux, Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr., Mark McGwire, Roberto Alomar

Honorable Mention. Andres Galarraga was a great hitter and superb defensive first baseman. He would be a star on any team. Joe Carter was as good as anybody from 1988 to 1993, his career is under rated.
