have you noticed that all of these players have over 500 homers. thats not right. there should be more than just power hitters in the hall of fame. you should have some guys that rely on more than power to get them recognized.

I dont see what is so amazing about this guy. Sure he deserves to be in the HOF, but the greatest closer? not enough IPs to be the greatest closer in my book. Obviously he was on a good team, and he got a lot of save opportunities.

10 season below 2.00 ERA
6 Fireman Awards and 4 2nds
900+ saves

Find one person that can even come remotely close to any of those, let alone all 3.

I agree with Meathead and 8 RINGS!!!!!! That is insane and I know how hard it is to win in the playoffs and how a GREAT closer can make the differance. Really in the Playoffs the games are always close and most of the time it come down to the Closer to close the game out and it he screws up 1 time it can cost you the World Series. I know what I am talking about, I have been in the playoffs 22 Times with 9 Championships and 4 World Series Rings. Rings are very hard to come by so I give Chub Stahoviak the honor of announcing him as The GREATEST Closer EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
happy

July 01, 2004 at 11:38PM View BBCode

8 rings= he was on a good team

900+ saves= he was on a good team, and his team put him in only in save situations

10 seasons under 2.00 ERA= he wasnt playing when he was even slightly tired, and he is a good pitcher.

Id rather have a guy with 10 seasond under 2.5 ERA, and averaging 200 innings per season.

look at this guys season in 1953: [url]http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=1050677[/url]. I would rather have some C+ endurance guy over a really good F endurance guy. like i say, he is very good, and deserves to be in the HOF, but it says he was the greatest closer ever, no question about it, and i disagree.
happy

July 01, 2004 at 11:41PM View BBCode

oh also, according to moneyball, Turtle Lobos stole way too much, and actually hurt his team more than he helped it. Moneyball says 70% you break even on SBs, and he was more around 66.8%. That guy is really good though. i would love to have a player like that on my team.
ltuair87ha

July 02, 2004 at 06:50PM View BBCode

Question # 1....What is Moneyball?

I have had a couple of interesting players play on my team....Turtle was a very interesting one. Played hard every single game and played 160+ games per yr for 19 seasons. He stole a ton of base and got caught a ton too but mostly early and late in his career. If you take is numbers away his first 2 seasons and last 3 seasons i am sure his percentage is around 71%, which is not great but OK.

Another is the HR King Roy Solorzano who just keeps impressing me. At 38 he is still Popping Hrs and driving in runs. At the age of 38 in 1967 he is batting .272 with 13 Hrs and 59 RBI in the teams 82 games. How about that? He is looking for hit # 3,400 soon and broke 2,000 RBI not to long ago to go along with his 619 Hrs.

My Lou Gehrig team stole over 200 bases and 300 a few times for about 10 straight seasons. Every player on that team was pretty interesting too.

Just because you have a good team doesn't necessarily mean you will get a lot of save opportunities. I had a team my first year in a league in which I was 62-100 but my closer had 43 saves. And what don't you get about Chub Stahoviak? How can you say he's not the greatest closer ever. He dominated for so long and saved at least 47 games 8 times. Also, he had 1127 IP, which is a lot for a closer. That doesn't qualify him as the greatest relief pitcher every in SD, but it does make him the greatest CLOSER. Saying that he's not is a ridiculous statement, as are your criteria for pitchers.

As for saying you'd rather have a guy with 10 seasons with an ERA below 2.5 and 200 innings, I totally agree with you. However, a guy with 200 innings is not a closer, he's a starter, or relieved most games, so you're statement is invalid. Closers are supposed to come in for only an inning or 2 when you need to close out the game. They're usually really good pitchers, who just don't have the endurance to start.

i dont know if id say best ever. there have been a lot of good relievers and closers. im sure that there are relievers out there that are better.

Moneyball, the book written about how the Oakland As had the 2nd most amount of wins in the past 10 years with the 2nd lowest salary (as of whne the book came out). It is about Billy Beane and his philosophies on baseball.

Now according to money ball, it stated that you shouldn't steal unless you can steal "X"%. You are supposed to be patient and walk a lot and don't strike out that much. One question that keeps nagging at me is, how many world series rings does Billy have? Better yet isn't his first draft of players still mostly in the minors still and not in the majors. The A's have been to the playoffs a lot of times, so have the Twins. The Twins play team ball and scout and draft well and I don't think they subscribe to the moneyball theory. They also do not sit back and wait for the long ball, if you have seen their roster lately. Does the Moneyball theory work maybe, but I think a lot of other philosophies do too.
happy

Bean was the one who got the As to draft Zito, even though no one wanted to draft him. Zito, Mulder, and Hudson are all prospects of his i believe.

Re: Great hitters

August 08, 2004 at 12:02AM View BBCode

Where are the great, high average hitters who didn't hit 500 home runs?

Oh, yeah...that's right. In SD they pretty much don't exist. Oh well, that still doesn't detract from the greatness of the guys you identified.
