It's a stretch to think Jeff D'Amico could have piled up 19 WAR with The Brewers, but who knows what goes on in Milwaukee? So I'm gonna guess Jeff D'Amico.

[stevejrogers]

He did cause the iconic “WHAT DID I THINK OF HIS PERFORMANCE” Lasorda meltdown tape with them, so Cubbie David Arthur Kingman?

[Edgy MD]

That would be great, but Kong didn't last very long as a Cub.

He is, on the other hand, probably a better guess than D'Amico.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I would think that Kingman had more than a 1.7 as a Met, though.

[Centerfield]

Rays. Victor Zambrano.

[Gwreck]

Victor is #54 on the Rays’ all time list with 4.9 WAR.

Dave Kingman had 7.4 WAR for the Cubs (3.0 for the Mets) and is not on the list.

Love the D’Amico guess but it was only 5.8 WAR with the Brewers.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Could the Cub be... Ray Burris?

[Gwreck]

Ray Burris is a great guess. There were 2 other Cubs/Mets who were better than Ray as a Cub, however. Ray had 10.3 WAR as a Cub.

[Edgy MD]

Holy **** that was a great guess. I hate you for it.

[Edgy MD]

Shawon Dunston.

[Gwreck]

I believe Shawon was already guessed. Not him.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Could the Cub be... Dick Tidrow?

[Edgy MD]

I believe Shawon was already guessed. Not him.

 

Probably by me.

[Edgy MD]

Steve Reed, Colorado Rockaways.

[Gwreck]

Reed is an amazing pull. Well done.

Reed is an amazing pull. Well done.

 

Pure luck. I was trying to remember Mike DeJean's name and couldn't.

Frustrated by the brainlock, I threw Reed up there, because he's kind of like DeJean. As soon as I hit submit, of course, my brain unlocked and I remembered DeJean. I was going to switch him in, but didn't.
