Pack Break: 1995 Topps Traded and Rookies

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

1995 Topps Traded and Rookies:

  1. #74T Ben Davis (Draft Pick) (Rookie)
  2. #30T Ryan Jaroncyk (Draft Pick) (Rookie)
  3. #155T Andre Dawson
  4. #30T Ryan Jaroncyk (Draft Pick) (Rookie)
  5. #150T Carlos Perez (Rookie Year Candidates)
  6. #57T Andujar Cedeno
  7. #6 Mike Piazza (At the Break)
  8. #125T Joey Cora
  9. #87T Darren Bragg
  10. #100T Jason Bates
  11. #80T Jaime Navarro

Piazza missed a month to injury (thumb) in the first half of 1995, but still was named clean-up hitter for the NL All-Star squad.  In his 42 games before the break, the bashing backstop swatted .377.  His HR-RBI totals of 13-37 would have projected to league-leading figures of 21-61 had he been able to play in every Dodger game.
