For some reason I thought I remembered the Cubs thinking of him as a first baseman, and having to choose between him and Grace. They didn't think Raffy had enough power. He showed them they were wrong, but looks like if the Cubs had simply roided him up, it would have worked.
As far as the OF goes, we had the runner up for the Rookie of the year award in LF that year, the rookie of the year in CF, and a Hall of Famer in his prime in RF (or at least 2 years off of his MVP season), so our OF was actually pretty stocked.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
