Cliff Floyd over Agbayani is really the only one I can absolutely disagree on, but again… not sure on your criteria?

I can’t comment on Stearns or Grote but LoDuca was pretty “tough and gritty” right?

Not sure I agree with Pedro in there… but I’m not sure who I’d replace him with either

It wasn’t based on stats otherwise we all know who’d be at each postion. We were just talking about players who were intense, didnt back down and wasnt afraid to knock someone’s teeth out. If LoDuca had played longer he could have easily unseated Grote, but not Stearns. Don’t mess with the original Dude.
