A few notes:
- Jesse Barfield had some great seasons for us.
- I didn't think that Mondesi had any decent seasons with us, I guess I was wrong.
- I don't remember Sam Ewing or Steve Bowling at all.
- The Moseby season was his rookie year, the Jays brought him up too young.
- I suppose no one is surprised to Brad Wilkerson's name on the list.
