    27th Greatest Hitter

    Congratulations to Johnny Mize, the Cardinals' slugging 1st baseman, who piled up 26 points with 2 first place vote. Slugging Johnny beat out Eddie Collins, the A's/White Sox' 2nd baseman, who finished with 21 points and 1 first place vote.

    Third place money went to Tony Gwynn, the Padres' hefty, but sweet-swinging high BA hitter, who tied with Mike Piazza, the Dodgers'/Mets' heavy-hitting catcher. They both received 12 points, with Tony not getting a first place vote and Mike getting only 1.

    This round for our 27th Greatest Hitter of All Time is now open! Let the Games Begin! Round 27 will end when AstrosFan calls it. How bout helpin' him out with lots of full 5 person ballots and 5 person Honorable Mentions to work with!

    We are now ONLY voting for the 27th Greatest Hitter. So, please submit your list of your next Top 5 Hitters along with your next set of 5 Honorable Mentions, if you would be so kind. As the winner of Round 26, Johnny Mize is now eliminated from our further consideration.

    Reference Resources:

    Relative SLG. Ave. is the 1st number, and serves as presumption unless I note mitigating factors.

    1. Babe Ruth - 172.5 - 13 SLG. titles - 10,504 PA - 207 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 303. Need I say more? Nuff said.

    2. Ted Williams - 154.9 - 9 SLG. titles - 9786 PA - 185 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 220. Takes 2nd nicely. Missing war yrs.? Offset by Babe's "missing pitching yrs."

    3. Ty Cobb - 141.4 - 8 SLG. titles - 12,777 PA- 167 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 159. Ranks above others with higher SLG. AVE., due to more titles, over a much longer career, higher PA, extended decline phase. Differences in PA with Hornsby equals 7 full seasons of decline.

    4. Rogers Hornsby - 147.3. - 9 titles - 9259 PA - 175 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 203. High SLG. Ave./titles earn high ranking.

    5. Lou Gehrig - 154.0 - 2 SLG. titles - 9954 PA - 179 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 230. Ave. held up well, of course due to lack of decline phase, hence low PA. Only won 2 titles.

    6. Barry Bonds - 148.0 - 7 SLG. titles - 12,606 PA - 182 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 213. I had him ranked 2nd, but his admitted steroid usage drops him IMHO. Had too great an advantage over his peers.

    7. Honus Wagner - 132.9 - 6 SLG. Titles - 11,731 PA - 150 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 167

    8. Willie Mays - 139.2 - 5 SLG. titles - 12,480 PA - 156 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 186.

    9. Mickey Mantle - 143.8 - 4 SLG. titles - 9895 PA - 172 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 198. Too few titles over relatively weak sluggers.

    10. Hank Aaron - 140.6 - 4 SLG. titles - 13,919 PA - 155 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 187. Too few titles over long career.

    11. Jimmy Foxx - 143.7 - 5 SLG. titles - 9,599 PA - 163 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 214. Too few PA relative to Aaron/Mays.

    12. Joe Jackson - 1.45.2 - 1 SLG. title - 5690 PA - 170 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 187. Too few PA to rank higher - Placed in top 5 SLG. all his 9 yrs.; 2nd 3 times, once 3rd, 2 4ths, 2 5ths.

    13. Stan Musial- 137.1 - 6 SLG. Titles - 12,712 PA - 159 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 168.

    14. Tris Speaker - 134.3 - 1 SLG. Title - 11,988 PA - 158 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 163.

    15. Nap Lajoie - 133.9 - 4 SLG. Titles - 10,460 PA - 150 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 159

    16. Mike Schmidt - 133.6 - 5 SLG. Titles - 10, 062 PA - 147 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 205.

    17. Hank Greenberg - 1.44.3 - 1 SLG. Title - 6,096 - 158 OPS+. Lost 4.5 seasons to WWII. Age 30-34. Out of game by age 36 spared him his decline phase.

    18. Joe DiMaggio - 142.9 - 2 SLG. Titles - 7,671 PA - 155 OPS+. His numbers appear worse due to Yankee Stadium, but better due to lack of decline phase. Lost 3 prime seasons to WWII.

    19. Dan Brouthers - 1.40.6 - 7 SLG. Titles - 7,658 PA - 170 OPS+. Too few PA to rank higher.

    20. Ed Delahanty - 1.33.5 - 5 SLB. Titles - 8,389 PA - 152 OPS+. Too few PA to rank higher.

    Sluggers such as Greenberg, McGwire, DiMaggio, Mize and Brouthers all had PA fewer than 7,700. Honorable Mentions to Richie Allen, Frank Thomas.

            This is an interesting phenomenon. We've gone through 62 rounds of greatest position player, now working on round 63. As it looks now, Tony Gwynn may end up somewhere around number 70 alltime among position players.

            We've finished 26 rounds of greatest hitter, working on round 27. Tony Gwynn finished 3rd in round 26, and is on 2 of the 3 ballots cast so far for round 27. Seems like there's a good chance that Gwynn will get the nod as the 28th or 29th greatest hitter of all time.

            Now let me get this straight. Gwynn was a very good defensive rightfielder for most of his career. He was a very good baserunner for most of his career. And, those who've voted for greatest player certainly had to be thinking about Gwynn's hitting when they consider him, since that's what he's best known for. BUT, he looks like he's going to come in around number 70.

            If he's a good defensive RFer, a very good baserunner- no demerits there- and he's going to be around the number 70 alltime position player- why is he looking good to be the 28th or 29th or so greatest hitter? This doesn't compute.

            The other way of looking at it is, if Gwynn is the 28th or 29th greatest hitter, AND a plus defender at his position, AND a plus baserunner- why isn't he considerably higher in the greatest player ranking? After all, hitting makes up the largest value component of any position player, except for a handful of weak hitting defensive specialists at critical positions.

            Actually, I think the player ranking is reasonable- I might have Gwynn a little higher as a player, but not a lot. However, I think Gwynn is overplaced in the high 20s as a hitter. A great hitter, yes- but not as high as he's getting credit for here. I see Gwynn as a top 50 hitter, but not much higher than that. And, number 50 as a hitter would reconcile much better with the votes he's getting as a position player.

              I agree that Gwynn is getting overplaced as a hitter and it baffles me that so many are ranking him at least 5 spots ahead of Boggs, who was clearly a much better offensive player at his peak, despite the baserunning disadvantage.

              1. Babe Ruth

                hahaha there's only about three people listing ballots so I wonder who you might be referencing. I edited to put him up on my ballot, admittedly only at 10.

                  I was just responding to BigRon's post. Based on the voting in past few rounds it looks like Gwynn will be selected this round or next.

                    If you go back and look at the last couple of rounds you'll see he's near the top. That's usually an indicator that he'll win soon.

                      It appears that Gwynn will be ranked too high as a hitter or too low as a player. Or somewhere in the middle. Perhaps somewhat lower as a hitter and higher as a player.

                      The other possibility is that Fever is going on a very tiny sampling of members who are actually voting. With 5 voters, these crude rankings happen.
