Cone/Appier was a great 1-2 punch with Tom Gordon and Gubicza behind them. Hamelin was making an outside run at the team HR record, Joyner/Lind/Gagne/Gaetti was a very good defensive infield. Tons of speed in the OF with Vince Coleman and Brian McRae.

That team had the starting pitching to do damage in the playoffs, with Pichardo and Monty to finish it off.
