Honestly, Brian Giles was one of the tougher outs I had.

But Kutch is Kutch.

And any time you ask me about pitchers hitting, who I'm facing, I'm always going to – the lefties were always harder for me.

So just him being a lefty, he just commanded a box.

You know, I had to work to get him.

A lot of times, you know, I had a hole with a slider, whatever the case may be, and just kind of where his presence in the box, the way he stood, you couldn't get him away.

And I'm going back on a scouting report like, you know, 25 years here, but he was really tough out.

all right you're up again limits introduce him and i'm gonna go i don't know if this is off the board or not but i'm gonna go with a former teammate of mine um aramis ramirez great pick another great pick bob i have him on my list but i'm not gonna get to him 2001 he was over 334 homers 40 doubles yeah and then i mean just in just

But, you know, when he came to the Cubs for us, I know it doesn't count when he came to the Cubs for us.

This is a Pirates draft.

But, like, that's when his career really took off.

And, I mean, he's in the Cubs Hall of Fame now.

He went in with Kerry Wood a couple years ago.

And just a great teammate, great player, great defender, and, like, a huge difference maker.

We don't make it to the playoffs that year without him.

Absolutely.

Well, and to boot, Kenny Lofton.

And I have Kenny on this list because he's like one of my favorite.

I have him on here too.

One of my favorite teammates.
