Players on the Wrong Team

[Gantry]

Wow, that's some good stuff right there, don't remember any of it.

Again, don't forget the "one from every team" concept.  Pedrique did hit over .300 and they needed a Pirate and there was no dominant NL SS.  And the Expos already had Raines and Galarraga.  And Tim Burke!

they could have put in barry bonds

Not that Pedrique makes sense, but Bonds didn't make sense at that point either. He'd only played two seasons and his stats weren't very remarkable

looking at the stats, i see pedrique has the team's highest batting average. since the programmers admittedly didn't know much about baseball, it makes more sense. look up he stats & go straight to batting average. they probably figured it was a stroke of luck that here was one short stop who fit that bill (maybe there are others?)

tho bonds did have 25 hr/30 sbs and 30 doubles which is pretty nice

But like 73837283 guys hit 25 homers in 1987

3 guys went 30-30 in the NL, and barry was next closest. you're making him sound below average

...but like I think you already said, they needed a shortstop. Bonds was a guy who was two years in the league and played OF. He had no real cache or star power at the time. If you're trying to make an argument for a logical Pirate to be included over Pedrique, Bonds makes sense...but it's not like he's a slam dunk omission.
