Sporting News' Top 50 Baseball Players

[CP_414]

Dumb.

 

Mauer at 39 is as bad as Jeter at 8. Mauer is easily top 10 if not top 5.

I reiterate, east coast bias. Most of people's beefs are with guys in big east coast markets.

[Illini Iceman]

Why would anyone assume that "a panel of 100 Hall of Famers, major award winners and other baseball personalities" would be able to put together any quality list of the top 50 players. They just named the first 50 guys they could think of so of course you get a lot of veterans and guys that on the east coast teams.

 

I am kind of interested in an example of one of the "other baseball personalities". WTF does that mean, the San Diego Chicken or something?

Apparently Miguel Cabrera isn't better than Dustin Pedroia

 

That sounds about right.

[Backtobanks]

Carlos Quentin in the top 50! :pig: :pig: :pig: :pig: :pig: :pig:

Dustin has two titles(was he up in '04?) and an undeserved MVP. Of course he's better than Miggy. I wonder if Detroit would even hear that whole offer out on a trade or if they would hang up laughing?

Dustin has two titles(was he up in '04?)

 

Not until late '06. One ring, one RotY, one MVP, one Gold Glove.

Derek Jeter watch out. We have a new greatest of all time on our hands.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

The ring is the thing my friend and without it you're nothing.

I believe you meant the bird is the word

And a glove, don't forget he has a glove.

Ian Kinsler should be on there somewhere I think, especially if Dustin is so high.

[illiniguy]

I would say Aramis probably should be on their list as we look like a AA team without him. Edited May 24, 2009 by illiniguy

He's 24th
