Edgar didn't have a lot of injuries early on. He was stuck in the minor leagues longer than he should have because Jim Presley was a much better defensive third baseman.
I voted Pedro but I'm making the case for Pujols hereIMHO, this vote can really only go one of 2 ways. Of course i have my preference on how it ends up, but as long it it ends between the two, I am happy.
OkI won’t credit Edgar because Mariners fans say he COULD have been a solid defender, so I won’t ding Pujols because he MAY have been a DH on an AL team.
He played defense. That is all that matters.
Ok. ThanksYeah, the guy who has more DRS as a first baseman than any other 1B of all time, while playing 17,000 career innings at 1B would have definitely been a DH in the AL. What an absolutely crazy take.
I prefer Pedro, but I argue the points rather than the candidates here. There are arguments FOR Griffey, and I have no prob making those. I just don’t think he stacks up against either Pujols or Pedro.I voted Pedro but I'm making the case for Pujols here
