Why is Puckett on this list?


Cuz i'm a homer and I actually think Puckett is a little underrated. The Ruth, Mays and Gehrig comment by my friend Femur is just an attempt at humor, he's really bad at it!

Interesting question - just looking for other's thoughts

If dWAR is a stat that is based upon how a player plays a position compared to other players at the position, then how do you figure out which DHs fielded their position better?

dWAR is not a good stat and Edgar played his position better than Papi.

Personally, I think most sabermetrics and WAR related stats are unreliable. (Yes, I was looking at Edgar's dWAR and thought it funny he had a -12 from 95-04 yet only played 34 total games in the field).

I think that's based on how they handle their donuts :dhd:

HAHAHAHAAHAA that was 2 1/2 years ago. And notice who it was against, ghey!


It's almost like you have been saving that hoping to use it at some point... lolzzz

Surprisingly enough, I think this is the 3rd time I have re-posted this in this manner over the last couple years, though this is the first time I got any feedback from posting it. I'm sure everyone has stories how they lost match-ups they thought they should win - but in all honesty, when I was a regular for these I almost never lost in the first round, so this one really sticks out in my memory - and I have a good memory (most of the time).
