Outfield

[tycobb420]

Alright, we need 2 outfielders and then we can round out the pitching staff...

This is a hum-dinger of a vote...

With all the quality choices, how does Herndon and Lemon get votes?

IMHO, the best 3 outfielders for DET was Cobb, Kaline and Heilmann. Why does he (Heilmann) only have 50% of the vote?

I went with Harry and Sam two HOFer's.... But love Goslin, Rocky, Veach,and Manush plus a few others..

Because some don't really care and vote for stupid shit is my guess.

Bc youngsters today don't give a crap about history. To them, Kirk Gibson is an oldtimer.

I vote for people I've seen play. And I wasn't around in the early 1900's.

Same here. I'd probably have gone with Maggs next though. People forget how great he was for us... '07 in particular where he hit .363 w/ 139rbi, 28hr and an OPS of 1.029.

 

[tycobb420]

Crawford and Heilmann with big leads. Thought Gibby would garner some support!

 

[biggunsbob]

Bobby Effin Higginson. LOL

Yeah who is voting for that prick...

How does Northrup, Lemon and Herndon get any votes? I could understand Stanley. Next to Paul Blair, he was the next best defensive CFer of his time. Lemon was good defensively, but hardly the best
