Since 2001, Bonds has transformed from Willie Mays into Ted Williams, and like Ted, Bonds is a tremendous hitter, but doesn't excel in the other facets of the game as he once did. So I don't think a list of current best all-around players would include Bonds. There are a lot of players I'd consider in this discussion, but I think the discussion starts with Alex Rodriguez.Comment

Vlad doesn't belong on an all-around list. He is a terrible fielder.Comment

Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

He is erratic but somehow he managed to lead his league in PO 2x (at least) & Assists 2x.Originally posted by BoSox RuleMythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer.

. I'll say Bobby Abreu instead (after actually putting some thought in my list). But Wilkerson may soon become an impressive complete player.

I think the phrase "all around player" is way too vague. Perhaps we could start a discussion about it?Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.-Crash DavisComment

1. Ichiro Suzuki (how has nobody mentioned him?)
2. Scott Rolen
3. Derek Jeter
4. Miguel Tejada
5. Carlos Beltran
ARod belongs nowhere near any of these lists; the guy isn't even a deserving All Star, much less one of the best in the league."Simply put, the passion, interest and tradition surrounding baseball in New York is unmatched."

And yet when we've made 3B lists, you've already touted him as the best ever after just one year the position.Originally posted by ElHalo
I would also like to add that A-Rod, despite a down year, led the league in power and speed last year and played pretty good defense at a brand new position.Comment

Based on his accomplishments before he moved to third base. I rate his career as a whole, and see where it ranks him among third basemen, because that's what he is.Originally posted by DoubleX
Currently, however, he's not the player he once was. He's not the player Tony Phillips once was. Great defense, sure. And no clutch hitting, whining attitude, and poor contact hitting."Simply put, the passion, interest and tradition surrounding baseball in New York is unmatched."

if you rate his career as a whole, you wouldn't put him as 3B. And what kind of played was Tony Phillips once?Originally posted by ElHaloMythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one."

EH all you spout is the greatness of Derek Jeter.
Alex Rodriguez is a better all around player.
It took the New York Spankys to move Rodriguez out of position for Jeter to win a Gold Glove.Last edited by julusnc; 03-11-2005, 10:34 AM.Comment
