August 5, 200422 yr Author Ty Cobb lead the league in homers once in 1909 with 9. You people need to do better research 497318[/snapback] Who needs research? 497324[/snapback] in order to present a case for a player being the guy you want on your team to build from.... and considering I asked for reasons why you would have them... I dont know...it would be nice to not exaggerate.
August 5, 200422 yr Harmon Killebrew 2086 Hits, 573 Homers, 1584 RBI, 1559 BB, .256 AVG 1954-1975 (Washington, Minnesota, Kansas City - All AL) Although quiet and soft-spoken, Harmon Killebrew epitomized raw power. His 573 career roundtrippers rank fifth on the all-time list and second only to Babe Ruth among American League sluggers. Over his 22-year career with the Senators, Twins, and Royals, he tied or led the league in home runs six times, belted 40 or more on eight occasions and knocked in 100 or more runs nine times. "Killer" won the American League MVP Award in 1969, when he led the league in home runs, RBI, walks and on-base percentage.
August 5, 200422 yr Pitcher Wise.. I would say Bob Gibson or Cy Young Hitter wise.. Id have to say Barry Bonds..
August 5, 200422 yr Ty Cobb. Top 2 hitter (tossup with him and Teddy ballgame) Stole mad bases. Hustled. Good fielder. Led the league in HR's many years before the Bambino came around. 497314[/snapback] Can't really build a team around him if you want minority players.
August 5, 200422 yr all the great satars had huge egos...gehrig did not, he was tough, had postseason experience, no one disliked him, played every game...oh yeah, he was the 3rd best hitter to walk the earth.
August 5, 200422 yr I was considering Derek Jeter but decided not to get a new one ripped... so here is my choice... Mickey Mantle(played 18 years) 7 time WS winner .298/.421/.557 536 HR 1509 RBI 153SB he hit .257 in 12 WS with a .374obp and a .535slg 16 time all star, won the 1956 triple crown, 1 time GG(i dont think it was introduced till around the time his career was ending otherwise he would have had more) Top 5 in the MVP- 9 times(3 time mvp) Top 7 in BA- 8 times(1 batting title) Top 7 in OBP-14 times(3 time winner) led the league in HR 4 times
August 5, 200422 yr if the mick was on your team, they would be sharing his beer bong and playing games half drunk...that only works for 2 people, the mick and david wells.

August 6, 200422 yr Hank Aaron Of course the pop picks are Ruth and Bonds but Henry has a legit case: 23 seasons 755hr .305avg .374OB% 3771h 2297rbi 240sb those raw stats are insane yet there is more, 21 time All Star 3 Gold Gloves 1 MVP 1 WS title and the most impressive to me is this: From 1954 at the age of 20 to 1975 at the age of 41 he never played less than 112 games and from 1955-1970 he never played less than 145 games. For maximized value from any player in the history of baseball the every day power from Hank makes him the player to build around.
