[Rock Strongo]

1,949 hits

nice player, but not a HOFer...not a game changer...never considered the best at anything in his time.

He was easily the best cf'er for a very long time.

No, he wasn't. Edmonds won 6 of 8 GG's in the 2000's. How many did Griffey win from 2000 on? ZERO.

Just the facts.

Would I take Edmonds over Griffey from 2000 on? Yes. Anyone would. Griffey hardly ever played.

Now you're just being silly. You said he was never considered the best at anything. Jim Edmonds is considered one of the best defensive cf'ers of ALL TIME, actually. He was certainly the best cf'er of the 2000's. Easily. This is not up for debate at all.

 

[TxHeat]

if the criteria is average or slightly better..then yes.

 

[StanMarsh51]

.

From 2000 on: absolutely

your thread title and poll doesnt say "2000 on".

its misleading to go this route

griffey came up in 89 as a teen
edmonds in 93 as a 23 year old

their careers mostly overlapped...and you'd take edmonds over griffey (drop the 2000 on crap, its an argument you suffixed in)

 

[Rock Strongo]

From 2000 on: absolutely

well duh

but he added that part in after

 

[Rock Strongo]

1995-2008, both players (i did 95 as it was edmonds first year as a full time guy)

edmonds - (includes edmonds lost season off 99) .916 OPS, 377 HR 1135 RBI
griffey - (includes his lost year of 95 to keep things even timeline wise) .919 OPS, 439 HR 1229 RBI

high finish in MVP over that time

edmonds

received votes 6 times, high was 4 (never top 10 outside that season)

receieved votes 10 times won once...finished top 5, four more times

 

[Nasty_Magician]

well duh

but he added that part in after

But the point was that "at no point in his career was he considered the best", he was considered the best from circa 2000-2004/5 before Beltran took the crown.

It's not my poll or thread, genius. Drink another coffee.

You said Edmonds was never considered great at anything. That is asinine. He's one of the best CF'ers of all time.

I also voted "NO" to this person's poll question btw. While Edmonds was a great CF'er, he simply didn't hit enough....especially during the roid era.

i meant offensively (my fault for not saying that)

4-5 years of stellar defensive play doeasnt make one a HOFer

it needs to be sustained

 

[Mistaken4193]

griffey >>>> edmonds by approximately 33.8 miles

Griffey never fucking played. He would walk out to CF and tear or break something.

again


he added "2000 on" after the fact

2000 on, its easy

overall careers?

youd have to be forced to wea r ahlemt full time to choose edmonds
