For those who don't know, ClemsonGirl coined the phrase "dreaminess above replacement" to describe levels of attractiveness of major league baseball players. HootieWho suggested someone do a fanpost for the best looking Cardinals. I'm going to go back to 1990 when I became a fan and list the Cardinals leaders in DAR (somewhat subjective, I suppose, but I think we can mostly agree on the top 16). Vote for your personal DAR leaders in an NCAA-style show down. The top 8 will move on, then the final four, and ultimately a very hot champion will be crowned.
***UPDATE***
Colby Rasmus is terrible looking. He has been replaced by Brian Jordan who I actually wanted to add in the first place.
