Wait...Eddie Murray??? Over Frank Thomas, Todd Helton, Harmon Killebrew, Willie McCovey, Jeff Bagwell, Albert Pujols? Eddie Murray was great but his stats were as much due to being a above average ballplayer for a very long time. He had a less than stellar last ten years, never hit more then 33 homers, only had 6 seasons over 100 RBI. Pujols has 8 straight seasons of .300, 30, 100. Murray is good but not better than some of these guys. So since it's a blog to debate, I'm debating your Murray choice. I'd bump Joe Morgan out of spite for being the most ignorant, and annoying sports broadcaster in the history of all sports. I despise that man's ability to call a game. He's arrogant beyond arrogant.
ReplyDeleteNice Jer. I agreed till I looked him up. McCovey? No.
ReplyDeleteBagwell? Not even close.
Killebrew? doesn't cut it.
Pujols yes, but still building a resume.
Don't even start with Helton. Stop.
Isn't being an above average player for a long time pretty impressive when you have over 500 homers?
He joined Willie Mays and Hank Aaron as the only players to collect 3,000 hits and 500 home runs in their career.
That is what you call above average????
While we are at it.
ReplyDeleteNo Willie Mays in center?
Yeah he played mostly before 1960.
But Griffey ahead of Mays? I dunno.
According to experiments done on his swing, Mays was .05 seconds faster than other hitters, giving Willie nearly 20 percent longer to wait on a pitch. Therefore, he was able to delay his swing until the ball was six feet closer to the plate than most other hitters.
From 1957-1966, he finished no lower than sixth in NL MVP voting every year. He won the Award twice and became the first player to reach 3,000 hits and 500 homers.

Stole over 300 bases.
And btw Palmeiro also hit 500 and 3000 but he cheated.
ReplyDeleteHave you SEEN Jeff Bagwells stats? ROY, MVP, average is .12 higher than Murrays .287 career. 449 for Bagwells homers to Murray's 504. 400 more RBI for Murray but he also played 7 more years than Bagwell. 7. Bagwell was also 30/30 TWICE. He's a first baseman!! Just just don't think you can so quickly discredit someone that has such incredible stats. Helton plays for the Rockies. I get it, not get over it. They've been using humidified baseball for a decade. He's just good. But you are right, after closer research he's not in the same level with Bagwell/Murray/Thomas and the others. Pujols RIGHT NOW is a top 5 all time first baseman. .337 in 10 years average, 379 homers and 1100+ Rbi's. I purposely ommitted Palmerio because he lied and cheated. He was a stud though.
