July 8, 200818 yr George Brett 21 seasons 908 K's 10,000 AB Manny Ramirez 16 Seasons 1622 K's 7,000 AB .... WOW!
July 8, 200818 yr I don't know who any of them are. But I'd rather see OBP than Avg. Just looking at the current numbers I'd go with B and C Thomas .420 Ramirez .408 Thome .407 Delgado .383
July 8, 200818 yr Thomas .420 Ramirez .408 Thome .407 Delgado .383 D was Juan Gonzalez, and not Delgado. That was my mistake.
July 8, 200818 yr Author AJG was correct, they are Thome, Thomas, Ramirez, & Juan Gone....And I agree with most that Thomas and Ramirez should be in. I found it interesting that they had such similar numbers though. Here's another one... Pitcher A: has played for 14 years W-65 L-47 ERA-2.30 SV-466 IP-993.1 BB-241 SO-903 Pitcher B: has played for 14 years W-39 L-37 ERA-2.41 SV-378 IP-807 BB-269 SO-1056 Pitcher C: has played for 21 years W-216 L-146 ERA-3.46 CG-83 IP-3261 BB-711 SO-3116 Pitcher D: has played for 17 years W-212 L-95 ERA-2.86 CG-47 IP-2714.1 BB-723 SO-3061
July 8, 200818 yr Having looked at the names, I'd stick by that. A & D are mortal locks and C has a lot in his favor. I don't think B makes it.
July 8, 200818 yr Author Having looked at the names, I'd stick by that. A & D are mortal locks and C has a lot in his favor. I don't think B makes it. C has a lot of intangibles that are going to help his case, which is why I think all but B make it.
July 8, 200818 yr Pitcher D looks a lot like Pedro Martinez...has he been pitching for 17 years? His winning percentage of nearly .700 gets him in easily if he gets to, say 250 wins lifetime.
July 9, 200818 yr A= Jim Thome - He's 38. I'm guessing he'll play 1-2 more years. Only needs 37 homeruns to finish his career in the top 10 all-time. If he makes the top 10 IMO he's in. If Reggie Jackson got in with his numbers Thome should be in. B= Frank Thomas - Not very many guys hit 500+ HR and batted .300+. The Big Hurt is in. C= Manny Ramirez - Only a handful of guys in the history of the game averaged 100 RBI per season. Manny is one of them. If he stays healthy for 4 more years he has a very legit shot at 600 HR and 2000 RBI, to go with his .313 BA. He's a strange dude, but he's also one of the best hitters to ever play. He's in. D= Juan Gonzalez - Nope.
July 9, 200818 yr The four are: A - Mariano Rivera B - Billy Wagner C - Curt Schilling D - Pedro Martinez On stats alone, Rivera and Martinez are going in, to say nothing of their names.
July 10, 200818 yr A - Mariano Rivera - Yes, he and Hoffman are what everybody else wants to be. B - Billy Wagner - Yes. Needs only 12 saves to pass Eckersley for #5 all-time saves, and 46 to move to #4. He has 20 saves already this year, so if all goes well, he should be #5 before year end, and #4 sometime next year. C - Curt Schilling - Nope. D - Pedro Martinez - Undecided, but leaning towards no. The .693 win percentage is something very special. But on the other hand 212 wins is pretty far down the totem pole.
