From there, in Mattingly's honor we draft teams of big league players turned managers, and then look around the league to name our all-April team at each position. To wrap up, we take a dive on the career of Adam Dunn, and think about how his career and legacy would have been different had he played a decade later, and for better teams throughout his career.
