44% got Gorman Thomas, I'd imagine most were thinking Frank Thomas.

That's how I got him. And got Ryan Howard because of Frank Howard. How I could think of Frank Howard and not Ryan Howard is beyond me, however. :D

I suspect it has less to do with how good he was and more to do with how long ago he played.

Mark McGwire hit 58 home runs in 1997 (more than Griffey).

Can't believe no one had mentioned that before. You're right! In my defense, McGwire didn't lead either the NL or AL in home runs that year since he was traded halfway through. Incredibly short-sited of the A's to trade McGwire. At that point in his career he was almost a lock to break Roger Maris's record as long as he could stay healthy.

The Mark McGwire and Jeff Bagwell trades illustrate the two sides of trading for prospects. The players the Cardinals traded to the Athletics did not develop into useful major leaguers. The Astros traded Larry Andersen to the Red Sox, and got a Hall of Famer in return. Jeff Bagwell had not played above Class A when he went to Houston.

They aren't all bad. In 1997, the Sox traded Heathcliff Slocumb to Seattle and got Derek Lowe and Jason Varitek in return.

Amazing how obscure the War era (1943-45) players are. 6 all star game appearances and only one top 10 finish in the MVP voting outside of the the time period.

Andruw Jones and Khris Davis?

Andruw Jones is from Curacao, so the spelling of his name might owe to some Dutch origin (or maybe some other language in Curacao of which I'm unaware). There was also a player active until a few years ago named Jhonny (not a misspelling) Peralta.
