with pick 136, the Pittsburgh Pirates select SS Mark Belanger



One of the best defensive shortstops of all time, the Pirates are happy to add such a sure handed glove up the middle for late game lead holding.

dWAR with Rank

1968 AL 4.4 (2nd)
1969 AL 2.2 (6th)
1971 AL 2.4 (4th)
1973 AL 4.0 (1st)
1974 AL 3.5 (1st)
1975 AL 4.9 (1st)
1976 AL 3.9 (1st)
1977 AL 3.4 (1st)
1978 AL 3.7 (1st)



I know gold gloves voting can be very off, but I think in Belanger's case, his 8 gold gloves were definitely earned.


Onlly Ozzie Smith has a better dWAR in mlb history.

Pick #140 - P Sid Fernandez



I'm having El Sid as my spot starter. A forgotten but formidable presence in the Mets' dominating rotation of the late '80's, he hasn't had much experience out of the pen but pitched well in the 1986 World Series in a pen role.

114-96 career record
3.36 ERA
1.14 WHIP

with pick 141, the Pittsburgh Pirates select super utility man, 3b/2b/Of Lenny Randle




The versatile INF/OF, Randle was a man for all positions. He even caught a game. Played every position except 1b. But his main spots were 3b, 2b, and OF. The Pirates like the versatility off the bench.



521 games at 3b
437 games at 2b
149 games at OF


12 seasons, 12.6 oWAR and 1.2 dWAR, impressive in that he was only a regular for 6 seasons and bench/utility man for 6.

But when he was a regular starter, he had oWAR seasons of 3.7, 3.7, and 3.1

with pick 148 the Pittsburgh Pirates select MGR Danny Murtaugh


Twice this manager of the small market Pittsburgh Pirates faced off in the World Series against teams that were heavily favored to beat them. Once in 1960 against the dynastic New York Yankees and also in 1971 versus the star pitching of the three 20 game winners, the Baltimore Orioles. In both cases, the Pirates went on to win the World Series. Forever cementing Murtaugh's legacy as a two time World Series champion.
