Are you freaking kidding me? Ramon Martinez over Hall of Famer Don Drysdale?
Quick trivia question. What player in the entire history of the Dodgers, has the highest Wins Above Replacement?
Sandy Koufax? Nope.
Duke Snider? Nope.
Clayton Kershaw? Nope.
Jackie Robinson? Nope.
Zack Wheat? Nope.
Don Drysdale has a 67.0 career WAR while wearing the Dodger blue. Cy Young winner, eight-time All Star, winner of 209 games for the Dodgers....and Ramon Martinez bumps him off your all-time team. Between 1962 and 1965, Drysdale won 85 games. He led the NL in wins (25) in 1962, starts four times, strikeouts three times, WHIP and Ks per 9 IP once each. Ramon never led the NL in any meaningful category. And his career WAR, 26.3, is nowhere close to Drysdale's.
You are a Dodgers fan, are you not? What, may I ask, is your logic for swapping Ramon Martinez for Don Drysdale? He doesn't get points for being Pedro's brother.
