June 13, 200521 yr Batting for average, power, speed, good defense, good arm My vote goes to Bobby Abreu: .325 BA (.443 OBP), 16 HR, 15 SB, Only 1 error so far this year and was tied for 3rd in the majors in OF assists last year.
June 13, 200521 yr Abreu is great but Vlad and ARod are better all around (at least year in and year out)
June 13, 200521 yr abreau is better then vlad in my eyes. He doesnt get enough respect. He is a beast specially against us. I think the following need to be put up there as 5 tool players Jim Edmonds (the man can flat out play in center and an arm like a cannon) Bobby Abreau Arod Vlad After that it drops off some beltran Andrew Jones (has a damn cannon out there also never run on him) There is a few others am forgetting am sure
June 13, 200521 yr Vlad, he's the only real 5 tool player in the majors. ARod and Beltran are 4, maybe 4 1/2 tool guys. Vlad's the most complete, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's the best, that goes to Pujols.
June 13, 200521 yr Abreu has been the most underrated player in baseball, but not sure I put him as the most complete
June 13, 200521 yr Author Vlad, he's the only real 5 tool player in the majors. ARod and Beltran are 4, maybe 4 1/2 tool guys. Vlad's the most complete, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's the best, that goes to Pujols. 807724[/snapback] How is Abreu not a real 5 tool player?
June 13, 200521 yr Vlad, he's the only real 5 tool player in the majors. ARod and Beltran are 4, maybe 4 1/2 tool guys. Vlad's the most complete, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's the best, that goes to Pujols. 807724[/snapback] Vlad isnt half the stolen base threat he once was, and his defense isnt that great(his arm is remarkable though)
June 13, 200521 yr At the beginning of the year I wouldve said Beltran was the most complete...now I would choose Abreu.
June 14, 200521 yr Vlad, he's the only real 5 tool player in the majors.? ARod and Beltran are 4, maybe 4 1/2 tool guys.? Vlad's the most complete, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's the best, that goes to Pujols. 807724[/snapback] How is Abreu not a real 5 tool player? 807732[/snapback] I never thought of him as having a "shut them down" arm, or fantastic defensive ability.
June 14, 200521 yr There is one that stands out in my mind and his name is Dontrelle Willis. 808110[/snapback] I'm thinkign the same thing. If you're talking about a player who can pitch, hit, feild, and run the bases all very very very well. D is your man! :thumbup Besides D, i'd have to say Abreu.
June 14, 200521 yr Lee leads SB for the Cubs not over all How about Jim Edmonds? He will hit you .300 30+HR 100+RBI He has a great Arm and gets about 15 SB a year too.
June 14, 200521 yr It's really a photo finish between Abreu, Vlad, and A-Rod. Can't go wrong with any of those 3 here.
