  1. There was a pitcher named Lefty Grove that had a few good years with the A’s. Have you heard of him?

    1. For sure, I am in shock here. Honestly, how could anyone who is in the position to post this list not know who Lefty Grove is, because if he is not included on this list he must not be aware of him.

  5. Lefty Grove is a glaring omission. As this is an otherwise good list, I assume that is a lapse rather than an opinion. I would also argue Camaneris over Joost or Tejada… but I agree arguable.

  6. Enjoyed the list, Dave. I just started working with your brother Erik and he directed me to the site. If it were up to me, I might have slotted in Giambi at third base, but I guess it depends on whether your criteria are “best performance per season” or “best overall total contribution.” Anyway, good list.
