Holliday credits McGwire for his improvments

Ahh. I consider fielding/throwing one dimension.

Therefore, I am right.

 

I don't remember where or when I saw this, but Gwynn did say that he could've hit 25-30 home runs a year. But that wasn't his style. It was McGwire's, Canseco's. To each his own. And that decision certainly didn't hurt Gwynn much. He was not a five-tool player. Not at all.

 

Ordonez was shitty on the bases -- and his 28 steals in parts of nine seasons is an indication of that.

 

You're right on both counts. The only good thing about Rey Ordonez was his fielding after his rookie season. He was a free-swinging mess, otherwise.

 

And forget about going head-to-head with Gemini. That dude would wreck Rey in a second.

 

Didn't Wade Boggs hit 24 home runs one season?

 

Yeah, in 1987.

 

Wade Boggs is as close to a one trick pony as Mark McGwire was.

 

You're out of your mind. He's a two-time Gold Glove winner at third base -- ahead of Robin Ventura in 1994 and 1995 -- with a .328 average. Boggs has 578 doubles, and if you drop the Green Monster 20 feet, who knows how many home runs he'd have.

 

More brilliance.

 

You know who else was a one-trick pony? Willie Mays. That guy flat-out blew chunks.

 

I hear Roberto Clemente was pretty one dimensional, too.
