2022 MLB Season Baseball • Page 61

For RF I'd go 1. Soto 2. Harper 3. Acuña 4. Betts 5. Judge. That's assuming full health and just who I'd rather have for 2022, if we're going longer term obviously Ronald is second.

Funny that LF is insanely weak though since Soto switched and Yeli turned into a ghost. O'Neill might be the best which is insane

 

SS feels like a similar position of wildness but, maybe not with the proven monstar-ness of the guys there in RF

would co-sign the above rankings, and maybe even
move Harper below Mr. Acuña

 

this mets fan wants to see Ronald come back strong. Just a more fun league with him fully healthy.

 

Off the top of my head the only thing close would be Arod, Nomar and Jeter in the late 90s/early 2000s.

 

Yeah I thought of that too. Along with Miguel Tejada

 

I thought O'Neill should be first there too. O'Neill, Gallo and then it just drops lol

 

Don Mattingly disagrees.

 

MVP runner up:

 

Tejada was a distant 4th. Wouldn’t even know who would be 5 during that time maybe Renteria? Furcal?

1B in the steroid era was loaded too.

 

Maybe Renteria, I'm not sure. It was def a big 3 and then the rest. 1B was crazy for sure. Frank Thomas made 4 all star teams I think, enough said haha

 

i feel like this generation's shortstops deserve some recognition too

 

Nomar vs. Xander in a battle of my favorite Red Sox is so unfair lol

 

LOVE Xander but no one will ever top Nomar for me at the SS position.

 

Peak Nomar easily. Absurd hitter

 

Okay now use the same baseball in all 30 parks and 162 games lol

 

Yup people forget how good he was before injuries ruined his HOF career. Nomar is definitely in my top 5 all time favorite players.

 

Yeah Nomars peak is very very good. Still think I’d take early ARod tho

 

Thank you @DaydreamNation for the indirect announcement about the Gaslight Anthem news.

I saw your avatar and legit thought “oh shit, I wonder if there are Gaslight rumblings” and then read the good word.

 

A-Rod > Nomar > Jeter > Tejada

 

A-Rod had so many 8+ war seasons. Dude was insane for a long time

 

Man, I remember actually being a fan of Mariner and Ranger A-Rod.

 

There were SOOOO MANY good-great 1B in the 90s- early 2000s for sure

 

This guy being the best of them all:

 

That's basically right imo ya
