There is no doubt, in my mind, it has to be Randy Winn.
Winn was nothing more then consistently good where as BJ has only show moments of greatness.
Blah!

I voted for BJ
but it was hard not to vote for Winn. For me, it was Upton’s cycle that pushed it over the edge (barely).
Also the fact that he had superpowers during the 2008 playoffs.

Yes he was.
the only guy that I can think of who hit .340 and was released in mid-season. Makes you wonder.
Blah!
