MLB Daily Thread: 9/21/2017: Sale 1st AL pitcher in 18 years to fan 300, Sox clinch a playoff spot

I love how we "LOL" at a 2nd basemen who will absolutely skate into the HOF on the first ballot by time he is done

there's a difference between being a HOFer and "likely the 2nd best 2B of all-time"

who we laughing at?

I like Cano though, glad he came to his senses and got away from that homo organization

 

[Rock Strongo]

L'il Pusty, Terry Pendleton, Jeter, Willie McGee, and Dick Groat all in the same room. Guess which one isn't an MVP.

Over

to the

pendleton?

bonds should have won in 91

pendleton had 43 walks that year

bonds had 107

Joe Morgan was a career .271/.392/.427 hitter. he also had 692 stolen bases and got caught only 162 times.

If you can use SB's, I guess I could use the roughly 300 HR edge, and close to 1000 RBI edge Cano will have by careers end

Rogers Hornsby say "What the fuck you smokin', bitch?"

Hornsby was amazing.

that's a bold prediction for a 2nd baseman that will be 35 next month

I knew that, hence "Also"

I thought the "also" was meaning "in addition to Rollins other stats, he also won a GG"

Sure there is, but he is going to be the argument to be exactly that.....Especially when Joe Morgan is the first guy to pop to mind

Statistically Jeff Kent is one of the greatest ever offensive 2nd basemens

It is a pretty weak position historically

There will be some compiling, but as durable a player that exists in the game today, and about 19 years left on his contract

pendleton didnt even make the AS team the year he won in 91

 

[soxfan1468927]

Shoot, who you got? Its not the strongest of positions historically....Hornsby?

Hornsby, Collins, Morgan

Don't lump me in with the laughter who ass!

Thought Cano... he should and will make the Hall

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Hornsby, Collins, Morgan

Ill have to look at Collins, and dis-agree on Morgan

 

[PolarVortex]

Outside of Batting Average, he has already surpassed him in many of the significant categories

Weren't you talking about OPS+ earlier. Hornsby had 12 seasons in which he had an OPS+ higher than Cano's career high. Cano's career high is 148. Hornsby was 150 or higher in 12 different seasons. Not to mention that he has the highest single season BA in the last 125 years. You don't fuck with the Rajah, bro.

 

[soxfan1468927]

Joe Morgan had 4 seasons leading the league in OBP. Cano has 4 seasons in the top 10.

We will always agree to dis-agree

Ill take the .305/25/100 guy every day of the week over the table setter

Theres' no right or wrong, just how we view the more valuable, every team would love to have both
