34. Shawn Green

A 1991 First Round Pick in 1991, Shawn Green first made it to the Majors as a September call-up in the 1993 World Series winning season.  Green did not play in the post-season and was in the minors for most of 1994, but he was the starting Rightfielder going into 1995, a position he would keep for the rest of the decades.

Green was a middle-of-the-road starter at RF for the Blue Jays for a few years but had an elevated stat line in 1998, belting 35 Home Runs with 1000 RBIs.  That was the type of season that the Blue Jays were hoping for, but he took it to another level in 1999.

Green’s 1999 campaign was the best of his life, compiling career-highs in Home Runs (42) and OPS (.972) while obtaining an All-Star, a Gold Glove, and Silver Slugger.  The Outfielder was also ninth for the American League MVP.  This was a star-making, yea, but Toronto was not a contender and traded Green to the Dodgers after this year.

With Toronto, Green had 119 Home Runs and 718 Hits and batted .286.
