Now that we are in the year 2014, a very important question is upon us: who were the best pair of Blue Jays to wear #20 and #14 in a particular season? You probably won't be able to guess this one.
| Year | #20 | fWAR | #14 | fWAR | Sum |
| 1978 | Al Woods | -0.5 | Butch Alberts / Tom Hutton | -0.3 | -0.8 |
| 1982 | Al Woods | -0.7 | Geno Petralli | 0.2 | -0.5 |
| 1984 | Ron Shepherd | -0.2 | Geno Petralli | -0.1 | -0.3 |
| 1988 | Rob Ducey* | 0.6 | Alexis Infante | -0.2 | 0.4 |
| 1989 | Rob Ducey | -0.2 | Alexis Infante | -0.1 | -0.3 |
| 1991 | Rob Ducey | 0.2 | Derek Bell | -0.2 | 0.0 |
| 1992 | Rob Ducey | -0.6 | Derek Bell | 0.7 | 0.1 |
| 1995 | Domingo Cedeno | -0.1 | Howard Battle | 0.1 | 0.0 |
| 1996 | Domingo Cedeno | -0.5 | Tilson Brito | -0.1 | -0.6 |
| 1997 | Woody Williams** | 1.5 | Ruben Sierra | -0.2 | 1.3 |
| 1998 | Pat Lennon / Mike Stanley | 1.3 | Kevin Brown | 0.5 | 1.8 |
| 1999 | Pat Lennon / Rob Butler | -0.5 | Kevin Brown | 0.1 | -0.4 |
| 2000 | Brad Fullmer | 1.6 | Dave Martinez | 0.8 | 2.4 |
| 2008 | Rod Barajas*** | 1.3 | Robinzon Diaz | -0.1 | 1.2 |
| 2009 | Rod Barajas | 0.7 | Brian Burres | 0.1 | 0.8 |
| 2012 | Moises Sierra / Eric Thames | -1.2 | Jesse Chavez / Bobby Korecky | -0.3 | -1.5 |
* Rob Ducey also wore #40 in 1988
** Woody Williams also wore $30 and #54 in 1997
*** Rod Barajas also wore #23 in 2008
A limitation to this analysis is that three of the players on the list had switched uniform numbers in mid-season, and unfortunately there is no splits based on what number they were wearing. So here we simplify by pretending they wore either #20 or #14 the whole season. For players who played for multiple teams in a particular season, the fWAR numbers listed are for their contribution as Blue Jays only.
Who would've guessed that the best pair of #20 & #14 teammates would've been the 2000 tandem of Brad Fullmer and Dave Martinez? In 2000, DH Brad Fullmer slugged 32 homers with a .295/.340/.558 line with a wRC+ of 118 in 133 games. Dave Martinez, if you recall, was an August acquisition and still put up 0.8 WAR for the Jays. The right fielder hit .311/.393/.411 (wRC+ of 109) in 47 games with Toronto. Actually the Blue Jays were the fourth team Martinez suited up for in 2000, after the Rays, Cubs, and Rangers.
The worst pair--well, foursome--came in 2012 when Moises Sierra, Eric Thames, Jesse Chavez, and Bobby Korecky all had negative fWAR, leading to a pretty horrible sum.
