...where did you get Cabrera and Ichiro from? especially Cabrera? Pujols and Lincecum sure. when you watch them you can tell that they are heads above everyone else but the other two have me dumbfounded. yes, Ichiro is an incredible player and one of the best contact hitters in baseball but when i watch him i dont think "hes destroying the other team." while i know thats harder to do in baseball the most other sports, i just dont see it with Ichiro or Cabrera.
ichiro is the fastest player in the MLB. and by alot. he also has the strongest arm in baseball. shocking, considering how small he is, but his arm is first rate.
cabby is a .340 hitter with extra base power to all fields. hes the second best first basemen in the MLB, to pujols, who is just amazing. both of them are future hall of famers. (cabbys numbers are comparable to henry aaron) and cabby is outstanding at his position.
i can go position to position if youd like, i know baseball like the back of my hand. i live for it.
thats all fine and dandy but the point of this was try to figure out who people
with no knowledge of the sport would recognize as being the best of the best.
since when is Cabrera a .340 hitter? he hit .339 one year with Florida other then that his career average .311 which, while good, isnt phenomenal. he averages 32 hrs a year, 63 walks with 117 strikeouts and 174 hits a season. hes a good player for sure, but not nearly as good as you are making him out to be.
when you said second best 1B in baseball, were you referring to offensive capabilities or over all?
