I'd take Steve Sax over Dave Hansen.

I would add Carl Erskine. Life long Dodger between Brooklyn and LA, threw 2 no-hitters, and a 20 game winner in 1953. I know this is your list, but it's hard for me to view a player as a " great " if they are with the team for only 2 or 3 years.

yes, erskine was one of the last players i cut from my list. i might have to re add him.
sax was right behind erskine, i picked hansen solely because he is the all time dodgers pinch hit king. sax was a very, very good dodger but not sure about one of the greatest dodgers (top 25) i agree about players not being great after only a couple or few seasons with the dodgers. i was looking at a few different all time dodgers lists on the internet(google search) and some lists have shawn green, gary sheffield and adrian beltre on it. all great dodger "seasons" but i think green and sheffield only played a couple or few seasons with the dodgers. he only played a few seasons for the dodgers mike marshall (pitcher) was a dominant dodgers reliever, but some say the best dodgers closer ever? he only played a few seasons for the dodgers! i think i would rather give the ball to eric gagne than mike marshall! same with kirk gibson almost every list has gibson listed as a dodger gall time great. we all know he had that great home run, but besides that, is he really a dodgers all time great. all time greatest dodger hr run, i can see , but should he be mentioned in the same breath as koufax, hershiser, snider, reese, robinson, drysdale, hodges, campanella etc?

After looking at his stats just now I agree! And he played his whole career for the Dodgers. I'll have to switch out either reggie smith or Dave Hansen for him. Thanks for your input , I appreciate it.

Also to answer a post from above, burleigh grimes was a heck of a pitcher. His stats are amazing however it's hard to find a spot in the rotation with koufax, drysdale, hershiser, valenzuela and sutton. also with ramon martinez and kershaw as my other pitchers. what do you guys also think about claude osteen, tommy john, jim brewer, hideo nomo and ron perransoki as pitchers?

Yes, I'm leaning toward switching out reggie smith for furillo and switching out mike Marshall the pitcher for Carl erskine . Thanks guys for your help with this! Any other swap outs on my list that you would recommend?

I took the liberty of organizing your list into a roster by position. This may help how you think about your list and also help others think about who might be missing.
What you have already is a pretty well-rounded roster, particularly if you factor in the position versatility of some of the players. I've added in red text some other guys that I might throw in for consideration. CATCHERS Mike Piazza Mike Scioscia Roy Campanella FIRST BASE Steve Garvey Eric Karros Gil Hodges Wes Parker - one of the best fielding 1B ever; I'd take him over Karros personally. SECOND BASE Dave Lopes Jackie Robinson (could move to 3B or 1B) Jim Gilliam (could move to 3B) THIRD BASE Ron Cey SHORTSTOP Bill Russell Maury Wills Pee Wee Reese OUTFIELD Kirk Gibson (could move to PH, as in 88 WS) Pedro Guerrero (could move to 3B at your own risk!) Dusty Baker Tommy Davis Carl Furillo Duke Snider Willie Davis If you need a defensive specialist, remember Derrel Thomas? STARTING PITCHERS Sandy Koufax Clayton Kershaw Orel Hershiser Fernando Valenzuela Don Sutton Don Newcombe Claude Osteen Carl Erskine Ramon Martinez Bob Welch had some good seasons and memorable moments. RELIEF PITCHERS Eric Gagne Ron Perranoski PINCH HITTERS Manny Mota Dave Hansen MANAGERS Tommy Lasorda Walter Alston ANNOUNCERS Vin Scully

Jason,
I noticed Drysdale is missing from the list, which I'm sure is just an oversight. BamBam, If you are wanting to limit yourself to 25 players, you will have to make some " tough " decisions about who you personally feel belongs. This is your list, after all. From Jason's organized list, personally I would remove Scoscia, Gibson, Baker, Osteen, R. Martinez ( not sure what he did other than being Pedro's brother ). I would settle on 1 pinch hitter, 1 relief pitcher, 1 manager, and 2 first basemen. The Dodgers have such a long and storied history, that forming a roster of 25 greats can be difficult. It would be difficult to do with any franchise that has been around for a long time. This is your team and selection though. Who do you like for your 25 greats?
