Who's the best ? Here are my top 5 in certain intriguing categories. Speed : Furcal Guzman Ichiro Goodwin Cedeno Arm (outfield) Ichiro Mateo Vladimir Mondesi Ochoa/ Kotsay Fielding (infield or outfield) Alomar Griffey Jr. Vizquel Walker Nomar/Ordonez ? Hitting power and average) Walker Alou Helton Bonds Gonzo ?? ------------------ "norm, would you like to buy an indian scalp ? This deal isn't gonna make or break me Norm, so don't jerk me around." Harry Carey "Norm, if I had a mohawk scalp, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you."
Speed: Ichiro Arm: Mondesi Fielding:Andruw Jones (why wasn't he mentioned?) Hitting:Helton ------------------ "I look kind of dumpy. Look at my butt. And what kind of shoes do they have me wearing? At least they got the chinstrap beard right." -Kevin Garnett on the KG bobblehead dolls during KG bobblehead doll night at the Target Center
Speed: Rollins Arm: Guerrero (or maybe Hidalgo) Fielding: Rey Ordonez (feel sorry for the guy, so he wins a tie breaker) hitting: Jason Giambi, Cliff Floyd, Lance Berkman (Helton doesn't play nearly so well away from Coors). ------------------ Clutchcity.net... source for all your Rockets, Astros, political, music, humor, and Gordita news.

Speed:Furcal Arm:Mondesi Fielding:Nomar Hitting:Manny ------------------ Ceo of the Walt Williams and Lisa Malosky fan club. atheistalliance.org
Out of curiosity, why do you rate Alou over Berkman? Berkman's power numbers are better and their averages are virtually identical (Berkman currently a few points higher). ------------------
I guess I used age as afactor. Also, Alou hasn't played in as many games, thus his power #'s would be a bit closer. Over the last 3 years, I think Alou has been the best hitter in baseball. ------------------ "norm, would you like to buy an indian scalp ?

Oh yeah, I forgot about Manny, I'd take Manny over Helton as the best hitter in baseball. ------------------ "I look kind of dumpy. Look at my butt. And what kind of shoes do they have me wearing?

Speed: Cedeno Arm: Ichiro Fielding: Nomar Hitting Average: Nomar Hitting Power: Manny ------------------ The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why i didn't get more meat, ill just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where ive hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?
