Blue Jays

Robbie Alomar - 2B
Tony Fernandez - SS
Carlos Delgado - DH
John Olerud - 1B
Vernon Wells - CF
George Bell - LF
Jesse Barfield - RF
Ernie Whitt/ Pat Borders - C platoon
Kelly Gruber/Rance Mulliniks - 3B platoon

Bench - Shaker Moseby, Joe Carter, Damo Garcia

SP David Stieb, Roy Halladay, Jimmy Key, Juan Guzman, David Wells
Spot starter/mopup Jim Clancy
Closer Tom "Henkenstein" Henke ... only the broadcasters called him "The Terminator"
RP David Ward (setup), Mike Timlin, Paul Quantrill (sit. lefty), Mark Eichhorn

RAlomar, Carter, Key, Timlin, Delgado and Wells all played significantly elsewhere, but more time in T.O. than anywhere else.

3B is really weak (which is why they picked up Molitor for their championship teams, but he's gotta be a Brewer).

Fred McGriff spent five years in T.O. (including his best season) and started there; he played more games in Atlanta ... you could make a good case he belongs on the Jays bench (or Devon White, Shannon Stewart, Alfredo Griffin or Ed Sprague) and you could drop Eichhorn in a heartbeat ... Clancy is a throwback to four-man rotations and he and Timbits could eat all the junk innings ...

And wouldn't Damon be a Royal?
