Glad to see Roy O getting his due on the all decade team, well deserving of him.  Remember when you look at these, this is a body of work for the decade.  But would you make any changes if you could take someone off the list and put someone else on there?  I'll leave this open for debate.

As much as i would like to put biggio in for kent, you really cant justify it.  Look at Biggio and Kents stats from 2000 on and Kent is definitely superior.  Biggio's peak years were in the mid to late 90's and you can see a dropoff in his numbers after 2000, when Biggio was on the downside of his career.

Lose Gagne for Billy Wagner
