Yep, who else would he rep in the HOF? He had his breakout year his last season with LAD and a majority of his All Star appearances and playoff appearances were as a Ranger.
quote:He's not in this group (no particular order):quote:The only thing delusional here is y'all
considered top 10 by many .... delusional astros fans
http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/jaws_1B.shtml
He's ranked 6th ALL TIME among all 1b candidates.
quote:So by "many" you meant random Texags posters that are Astros fans? Who do you put Bagwell ahead of on that list?
Is that your list? Sorry I said many. Not some random Texags poster. Besides Thomas is not a 1B, he is a DH.
quote:And "greatest first basemen" isn't solely determined by JAWS rankings. I gave you a list of 10 first basemen that I believe are better than Bagwell. I actually included 11 when I edited to mention Miggy. Which 2 of those 11 do you think Bagwell is better than?
I gave you a link to a reputable site that you yourself used to defend Beltre.
You gave me a random list.
quote:That's adorable. Oh, and forgot to include Greenberg.
Killebrew and Thomas
quote:For starters, he was far more versatile as a player. 969 games at 1B. 791 games at 3B. 470 games in LF. 11 games at 2B.
How was Killebrew better? He was very one dimensional.
quote:Would you rather have a below average defensive player that can play multiple positions, or a below average defensive player that can only play one?
He was a below average defensive player at all 3 positions though.
quote:How was Bagwell below average? He won a gold glove, had plus speed, had above average range, and when he wasn't battling a shoulder issue (2000-2005), he wasn't quite a Keith Hernandez, but was comparable.quote:Would you rather have a below average defensive player that can play multiple positions, or a below average defensive player that can only play one?
He was a below average defensive player at all 3 positions though.
Like I said, there's no shame in being a top 15 1B of all time. But, who are the "many" that you claim are saying he's a top 10 1B?

Ranger fans calling someone else's franchise insignificant?
Lol ****ing idiots ..you won your first playoff game in 1996 just let that sink in.
quote:
He's signed through '16 and I'd imagine that barring a major injury or drop in production Texas will bring him back. In another season and a half he will have played more games with the Rangers than any other team.
quote:Dude this onceaggie ******bag has used that already more than once and still uses it lol
That franchise that won its first playoff game in 1996 owns your franchise on the field. Let that sink in.
quote:You blew a **** ton of games lead this year and had to play a play in game just to make the playoffs. Your franchise has been irrelevant since I don't know how long ago. You can say you were relevant in the world series year but you got swept.

So you're saying that a team is only relevant if they win the World Series? This has to be the dumbest **** I've read on TexAgs in a long time

No one gives a **** how many world series games you win if you don't win the world series

A team who never one a WS game should say that.
