Lackey does have a ring doesnt he? Post season numbers are not meaningful unless taken in context. If the hitter behind the player in question is weak or not hitting well then wont the first player...

Wes Parker is considered the best fielding 1st baseman but I will have to admit I didnt see too much of him. Frank Thomas was a great hitter but was so awful in the field he only played 1st more than...

Have you seen Texiera play? You keep calling these guys superior to him in the field and I have no idea how you come to that conclusion. He is a superior defender. Cooper really only had 4 season...

Cooper was a great hitter in 4 seasons but was pretty ordinary most of his career. He made a lot of contact but rarely walked and does not have the power numbers that tex has. Texiera is a better...

But they get 2 draft picks when the players fail to resign with them so I fail to see how that is not beneficial to building a team via the draft. The Red Sox added Ortiz, Beckett, Lowell, Varitek,...

It is very close and you are using some things that are not really valid. Texiera has consistently shown more power than mattingly did. Not to mention that Tex's K's have decreased and his OBP has...

No way was he better in the field, no way. Mattingly's peak is not superior to what Texiera has done. And if we include Mattinglys 1990 through 1995 seasons it aint even close. I was being nice but...

Frank thomas has great numbers but was mainly a 1st baseman for 4 season because he was a brutal fielder. Palmiero has numbers and was a really good player but is more tainted than even McGuire....

He and Mattingly are very close at age 28 but Tex hits from both sides and Donnie baseball only had 5 good seasons and was pretty much done at 29.
Bagwell may have a little better raw numbers but...
