Greatest "what if" player?

Toe Nash

Steve Dalkowski if he had control.

 

Could that guy throw hard or what? Do they actually know what he hit?

 

There was no way to tell back then, some experts believe his FB was between 105-110MPH.

 

Imagine 110? Wow.

I don't understand what we're intended to consider for this poll: the greatest player after what-if scenarios take place, or the player who would benefit most (% of change in stats perhaps) from the scenario.

 

Obviously Williams is the answer in the first case, and in the second case it could be any of them, really.

While all are compelling, I rather easily gravitated toward choosing Williams. Not only did he miss three consecutive seasons, but those were seasons as he was entering his prime.

If Neifi had stayed off the drugs.... :roll:

Of course it is, but I already disqualified the Negro League players.

Ridiculously biased I may be, but Mark Prior without his issues has to be in the discussion.

 

 

the prior story is not really a rarity.

- Kerry Wood without injuries.

2.40 ERA and 18 (should've been more) wins in his first full season is.

WILLIE MAYS - CANDLESTICK = GREATEST OF ALL TIME

[hardcorecubfan]

Just think if Ruth din't pitch how many record he would have he still has a crap load. We have a bloody word for him " Ruthian performance"

I was going to say this too...surprised it took so much longer for his name to be mentioned than Prior's.
