First Base

[tycobb420]

May as well settle this now. Who is our all-time first baseman?

Other results:

Catcher- Pudge
Third base- George Kell
RF- Al Kaline
CF- Ty Cobb
LF- Willie Horton

RHP- Justin Verlander
LHP- Hal Newhouser
The other starters- Mickey Lolich, Jack Morris, and Denny McLain
Closer- Willie Hernandez

I'd be surprised if this didn't end with Hank Greenberg winning.

I think it will be close. Too bad the war broke up Greenberg's career. He had more power but overall these two are pretty equal. So I'm going to vote for the guy I've actually seen. Plus, arguably Miggy is the best player in the AL where in Greenberg's career his era was loaded with future hall of farmers.

By that logic, wouldn't that make Greenberg's two MVP awards even more impressive?

You can't possibly know what my logic is because I don't even know what it is

Dmitri is not available? Nor is Randall Simon?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Randall Simon, a blast from the past. Lol.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I had tolook at his 2002 season, 130 games - only 30 K's but only 13 walks. For a 1B/DH not bad with the strikeouts.

As great as Cabrera's stats have been, Greenberg's were even better. He gets my vote.

 

[zoombabyzoom]

Randall Simon was country strong

 

[dannydiggler]

Honestly I usually skip first and go straight for third.

I had completely forgotten about The Mayor. LOL!

Second place finisher is going to be the DH anyway.... Plus I want Norm Cash on the roster too..

 

[tycobb420]

Greenberg is an all-time baseball great. Cabrera is not.

How is Cabrera beating Greenberg?

This won't be a serious list if Greenberg does not win.

I love Miggy, but 'The Hebrew Hammer' got his number retired out on that wall for a reason.

Greenberg for sure. Cabrera may end up as an all time great, too, though. His ops+ numbers are consistent with comparable greats from the past. Another 5 seasons at his current level and he's in the conversation.
