No. I really like their team when healthy and I like their minor league system. They are very balanced going forward. Now if Kershaw is done, I'm not so confident in the Dodgers as much. But with their team and the pocket books that they have. Yes, I think the Dodgers are one of the teams...
The best pitcher right now is Q. When I expand that out to the start of last season, I think it's clearly Sale. Back another year and a case is made for Kluber. back another and it's tight. Back another and it's Sale. So for me Sale has been dominant longer, but it's very close. With the...
My Righty is Nolan Ryan as already stated.
My Lefty is Randy Johnson (same bias as Nolan)
Best DH is Frank Thomas
Best Utility guy/Bet player ever is clearly Babe Ruth. No one is even remotely close if folks are being honest.
C Johnny Bench (I do have a soft spot for Ivan Rodriguez)
1b Lou Gehrig
2b Rogers Hornsby
SS Alex Rodriguez (yep, PEDS and all)
3b Schmidt (Sorry George, still my fav)
LF Ted Williams
CF Willie Mays
RF Babe Ruth
SP Nolan Ryan (biased pick)
RP Mariano Rivera
I'd be happy to get Ortiz in, but if I recall, Sosa was never convicted and he's not getting in.
Personally, I'd have Palmeiro, McGwire, Clemens, Ramirez, Belle, Sosa all in the Hall of Fame. Shoeless Joe too.
Papi - None because of PEDs
Arod - None because of PEDs
Ross - Hall of Crappy - catman you misspelled Crappy
Prince - Hall of Good, just not enough peak
Others that I think are Hall of Fame today if they were to retire at the end of the season
Trout
Pujols
Kershaw
Cabrera

3) The 3rd and 4th 4th best Defense belongs to the Indians and Giants for which the Cubs are Roughly 50% better.
That's the facts.
