Greg Woodall, LF

Woodall was an all-around player with above-average contact, power, eye, and defense. His greediness caused him to bounce around to a total of nine different organizations in his career but he did spend the longest time and make the biggest impact in Colorado. He had the propensity for the triple, leading the league twice and racking up 182 in his career, good for 14th all-time in LF and 5th among LF born this century. He was top-5 at the position in history and his career value lines up well with an all-time legend Nate Clements. Vito Fernandez remains the best LF ever.

Initial Acquisition: Drafted 6th overall in 1965 by the Rockies out of Pittsburgh

MLB Awards: 1 ROY, 1 Youssef Raadouni GG, 4 AS, 5 Paul Vines SS

Career Stats: 11578 PA, 2624 H, 313 HR, 85 SB, .356 wOBA, 127 wRC+, -0.5 ZR, 65.7 WAR, 51.5 JAWS

Kent Burchett, 2B

Burchett's career just misses the Hall of Fame. His career was scattered with a few 5-6 WAR seasons but he didn't maintain that quality often enough. He spent more time in San Diego despite getting drafted by the Indians but he just wasn't as good in Southern California as he was in the Midwest. His defense was quite good for the first 5-6 years of his career but he never was quite able to win a Gold Glove. Tyler Petrillo and Walter Tapia were both elite second basemen while Burchett was in his prime defensively.

Initial Acquisition: Drafted 10th overall in 1969 by the Indians out of Ohio State

MLB Awards: 2 AS, 1 Paul Vines SS, 1 WS, 2 PMVP

Career Stats: 8130 PA, 2048 H, 157 HR, 14 SB, .334 wOBA, 112 wRC+, 65 ZR, 44.4 WAR, 38.4 JAWS
