All-Time Wizards
By Chad Gramling | August 24, 2008
The Journal Gazette has beaten me to the punch on something I was planning for later. They have released a list of the all-time great Wizards (using their achievements while playing as Wizards versus their career retrospectives).
There are no real surprises for anyone who has followed the Wizards since they arrived in 1993. Torii Hunter, Jake Peavy and LaTroy Hawkins top the lists. Sean Burroughs and JJ Trujillo, who had monster seasons with the Wizards are also easy choices. One surprise may be that Javier Velentin beats out A.J. Pierzynski. Will Venable (2006) also makes the list.
They also list all the former Wizards, which I also have available here. One interesting note on that; the timing shows an inadequacy of old print media. As they were going to press, former Wizards pitcher, Dirk Hayhurst was making his Major League debut. As a result, the list 68 total Wizards to reach the big show, when in actuality, it’s 69.
