Make your complete player

[George H Ruth]

If you had a chance to create your own five tool player, which tools would you take from a current or ex baseball player. For example.

Batting Average
Power
Fielding
Arm
Speed

Please also tell me what position your player would be.

Hopefully I get a lot of replies to this thread, I think it could be really interesting.

I would have Ty Cobb's BA- .3664
I would have Barry Bond's power.
I would have Pete Rose's fielding.
I would have Nolan Ryan's arm.
And I would have Rickey Henderson's speed

[stejay]

My player would be a SS or outfielder.

[RuthMayBond]

I would have Pete Rose's fielding.

Martin Dihigo and Honus Wagner are gonna whoop you under the bleachers

Haha. Bring them on. Even I can run faster than dead men lol.

[AstrosFan]

Except fast zombies.

[Murderers Row]

Gwynn's BA
Ruth's power
Willams' eye
Wagner's fielding
Mantle's speed
I'll get back to you on the arm.

Put Tulowitski's arm on Ozzie Smith and you have a guy who would probably save 40-50 runs a season versus an average SS.

Give Deion Sanders Henderson's base-stealing skill and get him on base at William's rate and he probably steals 145 while getting caught fewer than 20 times a year-and wins the triple crown.

Then up Williams power to Ruth's level.

[Bill Burgess]

Batting Average - Cobb
Power - Ruth
Fielding - Wagner
Arm - Wagner
Speed - early Mantle
attitude - Cobb's competitiveness, with Wagner easy-going relaxation
base-running chutzpah - Cobb
physique - combo of Mantle, Mays, Dick Allen.

Cobb's average
Ruth's power
Mazeroski's fielding
Ichiro's arm
Henderson's speed
Bill Lee's brain

In oder to create the perfect ballplayer, you start with Mickey Mantle, and you give him Hank Aaron's health and longevity.

And that's all you need to do.

[Minstrel]

Contact Hitting: Ted Williams
Power: Babe Ruth
Fielding: Willie Mays
Arm: Willie Mays
Speed: Rickey Henderson

Position: Center Fielder

I used contact hitting to approximate batting eye and ability to put the bat on the ball, square the ball on the bat and hit ine drives.

I used speed to also count in base-running smarts and instincts.

[AstrosFan]

Except he's still not a perfect fielder. Give him Wagner's defensive skill and versatility and then you've got a perfect player.

I agree, Willie Mays was the perfect ballplayer.
