Surprised not to see Robbie Alomar's name mentioned.
I just think Gynn is very overrated a great player probably top 50 all time, but the dude was really fat played very poor defense, hit for no power, and hadonly above average plate discipline.
Meanwhile Olerud had insane plate discipline, is probably the second best defensive 1B of all time, and hit for power and average plus had one of the bestsingle seasons in the history of baseball.
The only reason Gwynn gets all this praise and Olerud doesn't is because people value batting average so much.
