The premise b...Hey Philip - thanks for commenting. The premise behind our All-Time teams is to find the players that best represent each franchise. In light of that, we have a heavy bias for tenure over prime... swan song guys don't typically make the cut. We look at things like franchise rankings, years played, hardware/accolades and franchise moments... a guy like Joe Carter will make the cut because of the 1993 World Series Walk-Off. To that end, Cepeda and Killebrew, while certainly better than almost every name on this roster, won't make the cut because they were only here one year. We definitely looked at David Cone... again, it's hard to justify putting him ahead of the guys that we selected knowing that he started 1/3 of the games that they did (as a Royal). Thanks so much for commenting...@OCP22https://www.blogger.com/profile/06983828112048757251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339646220153814400.post-74588861710041690032013-05-23T21:18:48.835-04:002013-05-23T21:18:48.835-04:00oh, and david cone won a cy young there as well.oh, and david cone won a cy young there as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00108791468927073382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339646220153814400.post-34902257841598967402013-05-23T21:15:58.596-04:002013-05-23T21:15:58.596-04:00don't forget... both Orlando Cepeda and Harmon...don't forget... both Orlando Cepeda and Harmon Killebrew played for the royals for 1 season late in their careers. And Bob Boone. And lets not nay-say bret saberhagen, one of only two pitchers to win 2 cy young awards not in the hall. Also, compare frank white stats to bill mazeroski, very comparable! If you add killebrew, cepeda, and boon (perhaps not at the peak of their careers but still) you have a pretty darn good team.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00108791468927073382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339646220153814400.post-65426529557764667452013-02-12T14:31:01.958-05:002013-02-12T14:31:01.958-05:00Basically George Brett and some other guys.Basically George Brett and some other guys.CapAnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560987378222950041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339646220153814400.post-51028755881445298682013-01-27T09:01:15.373-05:002013-01-27T09:01:15.373-05:00Wow, Superb post.

And now I decide to form a new baseball team at my university and want to collect jerseys from PIJ as my new baseball Bat with very cheap rate.
