McGwire. Although Davis is a talented player, who will get much better, I would prefer McGwire, as I would know what he is capable of, when I don't with Davis

Randy Johnson or Roger Clemens

As good as Sam Thompson was, I gotta go with my fellow Irishman.

Hal Chase or Buck Weaver?

As good as Sam Thompson was, I gotta go with my fellow Irishman.

Hal Chase or Buck Weaver?

Based on playing ability, Chase, though I don't think I would have wanted him on my team (not that I would want Weaver either, but I'd take him before Chase).

Brian Roberts or Dustin Pedroia?

[SupCompleteNerds]

Pedroia.

Ryan Howard or Ryan Basile?

Basile.


Sam Malone or Ricky Vaughn?

Sam Malone or Ricky Vaughn?

To the best of my knowledge, Ricky never gave up back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs to Seattle. Plus, Ricky struck out Big Clu Haywood.

I gotta go with Ricky.

Ricky Vaughn or Ebby Calvin LaLoosh?

To the best of my knowledge, Ricky never gave up back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs to Seattle. Plus, Ricky struck out Big Clu Haywood.

Ricky Vaughn or Ebby Calvin LaLoosh?

Ricky is a proven post-season winner. Nuke was just called up to the show, last time I heard.

Big Clu Haywood or The Whammer?

[EricAnno]

Big Clu Haywood or The Whammer?

Clu Haywood.

A.) He won the 1982 Cy Young Award.
2.) He was also the 1989 Triple Crown Winner (.348/48/121, most nose hairs)
D.) He was never struck out by that sissy Robert Redford.

Are you on television?

Rafael Santana or Rafael Belliard??

[EricAnno]

Rafael Santana or Rafael Belliard??

This is a tough one...there were both just such awful, terrible hitters.

I'll take the Pac-Man because he started the "Tomahawk Buzzcut", plus his career .270 OBP is just...fantastic...:think:

[EricAnno]

Oh, yeah, I forgot to post a question.

Ummm...

Billy Martin or Reggie Jackson (in a fight)

[Seattle1]

Oh, yeah, I forgot to post a question.

Billy Martin or Reggie Jackson (in a fight)

Reggie

John Olerud or Keith Hernandez

[EricAnno]

Reggie

Oh give me a break. Billy would've beaten him senseless (not that Reggie had much sense to begin with).

John Olerud or Keith Hernandez

Keith completely revolutionized first base. I'll take Keith because of his incredible defensive prowess, how exciting he was, and the fact that he deserves the Hall of Fame far more than Jim Rice.:hissyfit:

Denny McLain (after prime) or Dwight Gooden (after prime)?

90's Bonds or 90's Griffey

[RubeBaker]

90s Griffey, equal but less whiny

Which Mets GM, Omar Minaya or Steve Phillips?

[stejay]

phillips

Gary Carter or Yogi Berra

[gojays]

Yogi.

Adam Dunn or Matt Holliday?

[EricAnno]

Adam Dunn or Matt Holliday?

Adam Dunn. He may have a bad batting average and a lot of K's, but at least he has never been a "product of his environment" if you know what I mean. Holliday is a great player, but I don't think it's too much of a coincidence that his first season outside of Coors field, he's posted .272/8/43/.372/.413/.785.

Manny or Jason Bay?

[ol' aches and pains]

Bay in a heartbeat. Sure, Manny's the better hitter, but who needs the baggage? He doesn't help your team sitting on the sidelines for 50 games. Although in a way he did help the Dodgers. He showed them that they can win without him.

Pudge Fisk or "Pudge" Rodriguez?

[Francoeurstein]

Bay in a heartbeat. Sure, Manny's the better hitter, but who needs the baggage? He doesn't help your team sitting on the sidelines for 50 games. Although in a way he did help the Dodgers. He showed them that they can win without him.

Pudge Fisk or "Pudge" Rodriguez?

Rodriguez, his defence gives hiim the edge.

Blyleven or Schilling?

[STLCards2]

Rodriguez, his defence gives hiim the edge.

Blyleven or Schilling?

For an entire career? Blyleven.

Chase Utley's first 5 years or Ryne Sandberg's prime?

[nerfan]

For an entire career? Blyleven.

Chase Utley's first 5 years or Ryne Sandberg's prime?

Utley.

David Cone or David Wells?

[EricAnno]

David Cone or David Wells?

Cone, hands down. At least Conie managed to keep his ERA under 4.00 and his ERA+ over 110.

Mike Mussina or Frank Tanana?

[nerfan]

Cone, hands down. At least Conie managed to keep his ERA under 4.00 and his ERA+ over 110.

Mike Mussina or Frank Tanana?


Mussina.

Tanana or Nolan Ryan, Angels career alone.

[EricAnno]

Tanana or Nolan Ryan, Angels career alone.

Tanana. Outside of K's, Tanana beats Ryan in every important category (WHIP, ERA+, BB per 9, K-to-BB ratio, etc.), and they are comparable in ERA, wins, and H per 9 (which is supposed to be Ryan's speciality, according the the morons who think he's the greatest pitcher).

Better World Series Performance: Tom Glavine in 1995 or Jack Morris in 1991?

[stejay]

Glavine 95

Mo Rivera or Don Sutton

Babe Ruth or Christie Matthewson?

[stejay]

Mathewson

As a leadoff? Ichiro or Raines?

[STLCards2]

Mathewson

As a leadoff? Ichiro or Raines?

Raines - better OB% (.385 to .378 in an era that was much harder to get on base), and a better SB% (86% to 81%). Ichiro has a slight slugg.% advanatge, but that can be explained away by era and no decline phase yet fot Ichiro. Either way, you can't go wrong with either as a leadoff hitter.

Saberhagen or Stieb?

Johnson. Devon was great defensively, and his OPS+ is higher, but Lance's speed and vast amount of triples (he's 103rd all-time!!!) more than makes up for it.

Johnnie LeMaster or Duane Kuiper?

Johnnie LeMaster or Duane Kuiper?

Kuiper, easily. Especially when you consider that he was half of the announcing duo for the greatest baseball games of all-time (the MVP series baby...the 2k series makes me cry).

Rick Ankiel the hitter or Rick Ankiel the pitcher?

[NJMetfan4life]

Kuiper, easily. Especially when you consider that he was half of the announcing duo for the greatest baseball games of all-time (the MVP series baby...the 2k series makes me cry).

Rick Ankiel the hitter or Rick Ankiel the pitcher?

The pitcher, but only if he never had the playoffs "incident".

Ty Cobb or Ted Williams?

[ryors]

Ty Cobb is preferable over Williams in my opinion, because he was a better hitter and could beat you in far many more ways than Ted. Both were great, but Cobb was the better all around player......

Would you rather have Ty Cobb

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa111/ryors/ty-cobb-hof-1.jpg

or

Pete Rose?

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa111/ryors/AAEN013.jpg

[riverfrontier]

I would rather have Pete Rose. I'd prefer the 1985 version though, with the little 'tail' left on the back of his Beatle cut. The picture you've posted is obviously from his tail-gating days as a Buccaneer fan. He'd always wear his uniform outside Tampa stadium in the late fall, hoping people would recognize him, and then, as he was eating all your best chops, he would give ten to one odds on the likelihood that he'd have a thoroughfare in Cincinnati named after him within ten-year's time. This one belongs to Pete.
