The Sweet 16 of Cardinals DAR



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 He has been replaced by Brian Jordan who I actually wanted to add in the first place.

The nominees are:
