I could see that. Not this high but yeahI'd say Ichiro. Yeah, yeah weak power. But he did everything else as good as anyone I seen and I seen a lot.

There actually is a story about Ty Cobb saying that he could hit homers if he wanted to then he hit like 5 in 2 games and went back to his regular swing after that.But he COULD have hit 40 if he wanted to. Everyone says so.
I will re-add Trout to the next poll. If any single player gets mentioned in the debates, I try to add them in the next poll.
I heard the plan is to take it right up to the point where Pete Rose starts getting votes and has a chance to make the list, then immediately shut it down with no explanation.Hoping we take it up to Opening Day and maybe further. It's been a hoot
Joc Pederson got mocked by a bunch of Brewer fans and went on a tear the next games as well. Doesn’t mean he “could have done that if he wanted to”. He just got hot for a few games.There actually is a story about Ty Cobb saying that he could hit homers if he wanted to then he hit like 5 in 2 games and went back to his regular swing after that.
What do you mean, any player?
Like, remember when Mo Vaughn was the most feared hitter in baseball for a few years?
You think this thing will hold everyone’s attention for the years it will take for people to start SERIOUSLY considering Pete Rose as the best player available?I heard the plan is to take it right up to the point where Pete Rose starts getting votes and has a chance to make the list, then immediately shut it down with no explanation.
True, but Joc is kind of a streaky homerun hitter anyway. An equivalent would be Joc telling a reporter he was gonna start stealing a bunch of bases, then stealing 6 in 2 games or something.Joc Pederson got mocked by a bunch of Brewer fans and went on a tear the next games as well.

Weren't you the guy recently extolling the virtues of the Double? Dude led the league 5 times.....You think this thing will hold everyone’s attention for the years it will take for people to start SERIOUSLY considering Pete Rose as the best player available?
Only if the opposing team started a catcher with a broken arm.True, but Joc is kind of a streaky homerun hitter anyway. An equivalent would be Joc telling a reporter he was gonna start stealing a bunch of bases, then stealing 6 in 2 games or something.

You know, Mark Gardner was just one win short of 100 in his career. Where's the love?I will re-add Trout to the next poll. If any single player gets mentioned in the debates, I try to add them in the next poll.
Talk about an accumulator.You think this thing will hold everyone’s attention for the years it will take for people to start SERIOUSLY considering Pete Rose as the best player available?

No pitcher, in my mind, should get in on this list before Johnson.Anyone want to stump for anyone specifically?
I am sticking with Hornsby. I have been stumping for him for a few rounds now. He has the WAR7 and he was the best player in the game pre-Ruth. He is close with Wagner, but Wagner was more of an Aaron-type accumulator rather than the MONSTER season (WAR7) type. As for pitchers, I see it between Johnson and Clemens. I would prefer Clemens, but he doesn’t get the support here.
Argument? Stump Mantle. Stump Ohtani. Stump Musial or Young.
