The DTFC Team of the 1990's
It seems it is a year for lists, the 100 greatest this, the 10 worst that, well here is yet one more list to add to the collection.
Everyone had their own reasons for voting the way they did, two of the few things we all could agree on were that Ken Griffey Jr. was the best center fielder and Greg Maddux was the best starting pitcher in the '90's. A lot of the voters had problems defining who should be eligible, should it be someone who played for most of the decade or just a guy who was finishing out a nice career or starting a career with all kinds of potential. Some players put up good enough numbers that they were voted for in spite of their lack of playing time in the '90s, others will just have to wait for another list.
The DTFC Team of the 1990's is as follows:
C Ivan Rodriguez
1B Frank Thomas
2B Roberto Alomar
3B Chipper Jones / Robin Ventura
SS Barry Larkin
LF Barry Bonds
CF Ken Griffey Jr.
RF Juan Gonzalez
DH Edgar Martinez / Albert Belle
SP Greg Maddux
Cl John Wetteland
Mgr Felipe Alou
GM Dave Dombrowski / John Hart
