POLL Top 10 poll #21: #21 player in history - Runoff 2

[Cedrique]

Oh wow, I don't think I voted yet. I've never felt this powerful!

Just a quick note. I think Runs Scored is kind of an underrated stat. And Mike Trout led the league in Runs 4 times. (1 less than Rickey Henderson). It gets overlooked but Trout is a multifaceted player. He's a guy with power, but he also takes his walks and has a .410 lifetime OBP and early in his career was a big stolen base threat. And his stolen base success rate is 85%.
I know you already said those were cherry picked stats but I just wanted to point that out.

trout was mostly a top of the lineup guy so it is not surprising to score so many runs... he did the job asked of him...

I had a post in an earlier thread comparing Mike Schmidt to Henderson... used Runs for Henderson and RBIs for Schmidt..

I don't disregard runs... at all... but even if I included it, my point would have been the same...

@redseat

could you offer some insight into your vote? You are an intelligent poster, so maybe you can shed some light into why Griffey should be considered over Foxx or Pedro.

Yeah I get it. I just think in general Runs are under valued by most. And on a side note, Schmidt was a 3 hitter who was The guy in the lineup so it's hard for someone like that to lead the league in RBI because no one wants him to beat them. (he did help Greg Luzinski rack up some RBIs though). Of course the extreme case was Bonds, who only led the league in RBI once, cause when he was having him mid life resurgence who would ever want to pitch to him with guys on base? (But I'm sure he made some cleanup hitters look pretty good)

If Griffey win this I’m out.

How dare you. Griffey pulled me out of a foxhole in Saigon!

Woops... I wasn't paying attention my vote was supposed to be for Pedro...

Right now it is a 3 way tie with redseat's vote going to Griffey.

I'll change my vote to from Foxx to Pedro. Just to end this. @redseat I'm disappointed in you that it came to this.

This may be one you need to use your vote

Changing it back to Jamie Foxx. Thank you too whoever for letting me off the hook so I can keep my first decision.

I think I will do the same, because I could go either way on Pedro vs Foxx but this helps eliminate Griffey

My girl wanted to watch "Django" after I showed her this poll. We are halfway in and it's still great.

In the event of a 3-way tie, I will just declare the winner, with no runoff…
