Running With Snakes: The D-backs on the Basepaths
Fanster.com —
... Couple of other things, in passing. Paul Sullivan, aka Sully, has come up with two all-time rosters for the Diamondbacks - home-grown vs. acquired. Obviously, the latter is, as yet, clearly superior, but it's an interesting exercise to see his choices, some of which are not the ones I'd have gone for: Tony Clark over Mark Grace as 1B on the 'acquired' team, for example, or Eric Byrnes over Steve Finlay in CF. And I'm unsure Kim genuinely should count as 'Acquired'; while not drafted by us, he did come up through our farm system. Well, not my rules, so I amn't going to argue! ...
