    I thought this was an interesting one. Such a loaded team. A few comments:

    * Strawberry was 7th, 3.4. He was always vulnerable to LHP, particularly in that yr.

    * Wally Backman was 8th, 3.2. He was a low-walk guy, but did hit .320 that yr.

    * Ray Knight was 12th, 2.4. Knight had a big year and was WS MVP. But he was shot after, didn't re-sign, retired within two years b4 going into announcing/managing.

    For sure. It's so ez for the critics to take shots at uber-talents. Doc + Darryl made it look SO easy.

    Gooden was dominant at a very young age. And Darryl easily had the sweetest LH power stroke imaginable.

    As much as the critics want to shoot daggers at Doc + Darryl...each still wound up having successful careers (by any normal standard). Their career WAR figures are north of some HOFers.
