use your [B][I] middle[/I][/B] name to help our BBF team

[jalbright]

The idea will be to take your middle name and put into our roster with players using that name as their first name. My middle name is Fred*****, so the guys I'll start the team with are:

My middle name is Steven, which can be adopted to Steve. Nothing for position players (Garvey isn't better than McGriff, Sax isn't better than Maz and Finley isn't better than Terry, Mays, or Keeler. After that there's not much). I can steal the whole starting rotation though.

mcgwire could add some muscle to the lineup.

Hmmmm...

Sparky Anderson and Bench both have Lee as their middle names too, but that's not how we're rollin' on this one.

I guess Lee Smith is my lone contribution :lookitup

[ElHalo]

Now, are we using our middle name and the player's first name, or our middle name and the player's middle name?

If the latter, well, I've got one Hall of Famer (if an iffy one in Heiny Manusch)... if the former, by far the best is Gene Dale... who was pretty bad.

Interestingly, a lot of the people with the name Emmet were named after the same guy I was... of the 22 guys in BBRef's database with the name "Emmet," 6 of them are named "Robert Emmet." I don't have the first half, but my middle name is in honor of the Irish revolutionary executed in 1803.

[runningshoes]

Our middle name and the player's first name.

Are you Catholic, if not- convert then go make confirmation- choose Mariano as your confirmation name- count that and then meet us back here and claim the closer spot.

I actually didn't have the patience to search through all the Tims, and I figured someone would throw out some better ones quickly enough.

I've got an embarrassing mistake to admit. Thomas is my middle name, not Frank, so by the rules of the game, I simply cannot put him in and am "replacing" my replacement with jalbright's Fred McGriff.
I can, however, replace Steve Rogers with Tom Seaver!:D Gotta look for more Tom's.:lookitup

[538280]

I can, however, replace Steve Rogers with Tom Seaver!:D Gotta look for more Tom's.:lookitup

I think we'd be better off with Steve Rogers than Mike Cuellar. They both pitched about the same amont of innings, Cuellar has the better won-lost record. But, Cuellar got to pitch for Earl Weaver's O's while Rogers pitched for the Expos. Rogers' ERAs are better, and I think that's a better representation of their ability.

[RuthMayBond]

Gotta look for more Tom's.:lookitupBond, Bridges, Burgmeier, Davis, Glavine, Henke, John, McCarthy, Tresh

[Francoeurstein]

Wow, that is actually a pretty good all-star team, maybe better. But, too bad I had a very cruddy middle name. Luckily I could do Ty Cobb I did my part but now I can't do anymore ( I think )

[Utter Chaos]

I guess I can't contribute to this thread. I was named after Robert Taft (senator from Ohio and brother of the president). The only Taft that ever played was Taft Shedron "Taffy" Wright.

[Utter Chaos]

I can, however, replace Steve Rogers with Tom Seaver!:D Gotta look for more Tom's.:lookitup Do the rules allow you to use George Thomas Seaver if your middle name is Tom? Or would your middle name have to be George? Hmmmmmmm.........

Do the rules allow you to use George Thomas Seaver if your middle name is Tom? Or would your middle name have to be George? Hmmmmmmm.........
No why do you gotta go say that for?:grouchy :p

[Chisox]

I think we'd be better off with Steve Rogers than Mike Cuellar. They both pitched about the same amont of innings, Cuellar has the better won-lost record. But, Cuellar got to pitch for Earl Weaver's O's while Rogers pitched for the Expos. Rogers' ERAs are better, and I think that's a better representation of their ability.

I just got done ranking my top 70, and I got Cuellar in my top 25 lefties all-time, while Rogers didn't even bid to be ranked. I'll have to look into that.

Bond, Bridges, Burgmeier, Davis, Glavine, Henke, John, McCarthy, Tresh

Bond, Henke, and Davis are bad enough, but how could I forget about the guy I just ranked among the top 10 LHP ever?:o :(

We are doing a last name team now, well anyways my last name is Maddux so Greg Maddux will greatly improve the pitching staff.

[runningshoes]

In the first name thread, there was a challenge to see whether that team could beat the middle name team. I'm also going to add the last name team for consideration.

The middle name team is kicking some serious butt. :D

[RuthMayBond]

The middle name team is kicking some serious butt. :DRobert Edward Robinson-Johnson here. I think all my teams would be above average.

Interesting thread, and not a bad team at all. Reading through it I thought I might be able to improve it as my middle name is Scott, but I don't think so - "Scott" generates 75 hits at baseball-reference, most of which don't even qualify (i.e., the only HOF'er is Donald Scott Drysdale, the next two best are Mike Scott and George Scott). After that it's down to Scott Briosius (never liked him, and hate the Yankees), Scott Elarton (liked him as an Astro, but hasn't exactly turned into a star), Scott Cooper, Scott Bailes, Scott Bradley (decent players that I actually remember), and it gets really thin from there. Basically, there haven't been any great ballplayers with the first name Scott. :(

[Erik Bedard]

Ha! Beat this: Robert Edward Andrew Feller. And also, Andrew "Rube" Foster

[RuthMayBond]

Ha! Beat this: Robert Edward Andrew FellerWhat is this supposed to signify?

[Erik Bedard]

What is this supposed to signify?

[Gashouse6]

My middle name is Robert, so:

SP:Robert "Bob" Gibson
SP:Robert Moses "Lefty" Grove
1B: Jefffery Robert Bagwell, John Robert Mize
2B: Robert "Bobby" Doerr
3B:Robert "Bobby" Bonilla
OF: Robert Lewis "Hack" Wilson
OF:Roberto Clemente (Robert=Roberto; clsoe enough)

If it's not too late can I add to the last name team?

[Johnny Seven]

hi... i'm new to this forum... try adding eddie plank, ed delahanty, eddie collins, ed walsh, edward "whitey" ford, ed reulbach, and if common middle names do count, throw in peter edward rose (and for manager you might have ed barrow)
