#6- Lloyd Moseby- 26.0 WAR

Lloyd Moseby spent all but two of his 12-year MLB career with the Blue Jays. The Shaker is still the Blue Jays highest draft pick to date having been selected in the first round, 2nd overall in the 1978 amateur draft. The Braves had the 1st overall pick and opted for Bob Horner, leaving Moseby for the Jays.

Moseby comes in at sixth on the All-Time list with a 26.0 WAR during his decade long tenure with the Jays. As earlier mentioned, Moseby part of the outfield trio with Bell and Barfield. Moseby had his best all-around season in 1984 and it showed in his WAR totals.

In 1984, the Shaker hit .280/.368/.470 with 15 triples, 18 big flies, 39 stolen bases and a 7.3 WAR in 158 games. That is a heck of a season by anyone’s standard. Moseby would finish his Blue Jays career slashing .257/.333/.415 with 60 triples, 149 home runs, and 255 stolen bases in 1392 games.

He would go onto sign with the Detroit Tigers as a free agent in 1989 and retire from baseball two years later. Moseby ended up with a career 27.5 WAR total in 1588 games.
