  1. I'm going by James' list, and he has Carew there, so that's what I'm going with. If you want, you can take into account the fact that he played half his games at 1B when you rank him as a 2B.
  2. http://www.livwell.com/richard_s.jpg
  3. Yeah no question, as it is, many (most?) baseball people still think he's the best of all-time at first base.
  4. Is Joel Guzman really 6'6", 250 lbs??? Jeez.
  5. yeah, same thing with angel guzman
  6. Actually, this year it's pretty shocking
  7. Still would be sad to see him pulled having given up ... 4 walks ...
  8. Hooray for Prior, and hooray for the Tigers taking a 2-0 lead over Chief Wahoo!
  9. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/M/John-Maine.shtml was pretty incredbile for his first couple of years in the Orioles' system.
  10. Yeah, and what's sad is that for getting baseball highlights, it's still the best thing out there, so I'll continue to watch it despite the moronic babbling of Kruk and Phillips.
  11. Yeah I'll be interested to see if people can separate Morgan the great second baseman from Morgan the terrible announcer.
  12. That's fair... I plan on giving that consideration to all good players who missed time serving during WWII or Korea.
  13. Yeah, Wuertz had an ERA+ over 100 each of the last two years, and then has to languish in the minors most of this season.
  14. Look folks, the criteria is the position at which a player had the most action. Harmon Killebrew played more games at 1B than other position, and he was such a good hitter than he has to be rated at some position. If I don't put him at 1B, then he won't be ranked at all, which is unfair to such a great hitter. You can't rank Stargell at 1B because he played fewer games there than in the OF. Yaz is a LF, Stargell is a LF, Banks is a SS, Richie Allen is a 1B. Bill Terry was on the list.
  15. He played way more games in the OF than at 1B. He'll be on the LF rankings, so move the other guys up and put another guy in at #10 if you want to.
  16. The consensus: 1. Johnny Bench 2. Yogi Berra 3. Mike Piazza 4. Carlton Fisk 5. Mickey Cochrane 6. Bill Dickey 7. Gabby Hartnett 8 (tie). Roy Campanella Ivan Rodriguez 10. Gary Carter
  17. 1. Yogi Berra 2. Johnny Bench 3. Mike Piazza 4. Mickey Cochrane 5. Roy Campanella 6. Bill Dickey 7. Carlton Fisk 8. Gabby Hartnett 9. Pudge Rodriguez 10. Gary Carter I'll do the NSBB consensus ranking now.
  18. Same rules as before. Top 10 of all time, rank 'em. I'll give you most hall of famers, and all those in Bill James' top 25 who aren't in the Hall. I say most HOF'ers because to keep the list reasonably short, I'm going to cut out guys who made the Hall but clearly shouldn't have - i.e., Jake Beckley or George Kelly. Dick Allen Cap Anson Jeff Bagwell Jim Bottomley Dan Brouthers Norm Cash Orlando Cepeda Frank Chance Will Clark Roger Connor Jimmie Foxx Lou Gehrig Hank Greenberg Keith Hernandez Harmon Killebrew Don Mattingly Willie McCovey Fred McGriff Mark McGwire Johnny Mize Eddie Murray Rafael Palmeiro Tony Perez George Sisler Bill Terry Frank Thomas
  19. You're the loser who ranked CCR way too low.
  20. Kruk would have to pay someone to sexually harass him.
  21. I'll predict it right now that the Cards win this game 7-3. I'm not sure what I'd be more pissed about, Hill having a bad game, or the Cubs scoring only 3 runs off that bum Weaver.
  22. About effin time he's back in the majors and back in the starting rotation.
  23. I voted AC/DC because (a) I like them, and (b) I still do not consider the Beatles to be a rock band, but more of a rock/pop hybrid.
