Give me the W.

[MaddyMax]

power hitters like dunn, chris davis etc

[grease lightnin]

I know Ripken wouldnt be brought up all time
but outside of the incredible games played streak
he was an average baseball player stat wise

I liked Ripken myself but he shouldnt be considered up there with the greatest of the greats ......

[Fidel_CashFlow]

not a bad article at all Grease
but you gotta realize we are talking overrated
as in considered greatest of the greats

and in that category there could be an argument either way for each player

id even throw Jeter in that same group as overrated possibly

http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/stats/_/id/789/cal-ripken

had a bit more home runs than I thought
but those stats are inflated because he got in a extra 100 at bats more than most players each year

He was good, real good .... but still overrated imo

You from Balty Greaser ?

I got a huge case for the following:

Hunter Pence
Matt Moore
Jeff Samardzija
Pablor Sandoval

What a coincidence, huh? All over paid and from the Giants.

Don't forget to add Posey and Belt. Oh, 3 WS wins this decade. I'll take these over rated guys anytime.

[Cuse0323]

Babe Ruth. Not even close when it comes to all time.

[CTOWNsCAPPIN]

Pablo Sandoval is an easy one. Overpaid, overweight bust

[Mike Huntertz]

Lazy phuck Ramirez

[Marigold HD]

Connor Mcgregor

[19th Hole]

Yeah Todd Frazier or believe it or not All Time might be Cal Ripken

Cal Ripken definitely. His greatest accomplishment was getting out of bed everyday.

[Fidel_CashFlow]

Cal Ripken definitely. His greatest accomplishment was getting out of bed everyday.

He was an amazing player though

I doubt I could make it to 2,632 games of bingo in a row without getting injured or taking a sick day

He had that ugly but short stroke that could line it quickly (and i mean quickly ) out of the park

Played in a beautiful stadium and had a very memorable end of streak game

But still overrated when its based on stats and production against other players who are considered legendary

Soooo many players that could be considered top overrated of all time and a few of them

are pitchers who started for the Yankees when they won all those World Series

Average pitchers stat wise that are considered great because of success in World Series Championships

and in the win loss department

Maybe you are giving Cal too much credit at the outset. You don't think he is HOF material?

C. Kershaw

[ManOfValue]

Cano got old. Was terrific for quite a while.

Robinson cano terrible defense and slow as fuk and minimal effort fuk him

[ManOfValue]

Matt Kemp has to be in the conversation. Been bad for some time.

[eidolon]

no but they were part of moves made by world series winning organization trying to win yet another

not an organization trying to just get into the playoffs

kershaw cant hold madbums jock and you know it

Kershaw = Peyton Manning
Bumgarner = Tom Brady

[StackinGreen]

^^^

[chaseman]

Kershaw = Peyton Manning
Bumgarner = Tom Brady

I'm not so sure about that analogy... without going too far into the Manning / Brady rivalry, Manning is 3-2 against Brady in the playoffs. Brady has played under the best coach in the history of the NFL and always had a top notch defense, while Manning has played for a bunch of bums aside from Tony Dungy, with no defense until he got to the Broncos, and still found ways to be the best. What would Manning have done if you put him under Belichick?

Ryan Howard is my choice for the most overrated baseball player in my lifetime.

[trytrytry]

fun thread

[JMobile]

David Wright.

[JPTerriers8]

Players in my lifetime

MLB - Carl Crawford
NFL - Eli Manning
NBA - Lebron James

[kidcudi92]

Lincecum, BJ "Melvin" Upton, Ryan Howard, Johan Santana

[Fidel_CashFlow]

Ryan Howard is a interesting choice but he did have 6 seasons in a row where
he had some crazy RBI and home run totals from 2006 through 2011

2006 -58 homers -149 ribbies
2007-47 homers - 136 ribbies
2008-48 homers-146 ribbies
2009-45 homers -141 ribbies
2010-31 homers - 108 ribbies
2011-33 homers -116 ribbies


as much as I want to throw him in the group I just cant with those
6 seasons one after another of almost unheard of production at the time

[RudyRuetigger]

fun thread

why?

because grown men are wasting their time comparing grown men to each other?

I admit, I laughed at all these idiots too

fun thread indeed

you mean my girlfriend ? Who I can almost promise you is hotter than anything you
have ever put your little RudyRumpsticker inside of ?

And not only do I post plays here. I actually keep track of them with a publicly posted spreadsheet





Have you ever been right about anything ?

[RudyRuetigger]

ok so show me where we can find them in players talk

I do not check page 2

[Fidel_CashFlow]

Trust me I post each and every one of them
where I do it , id rather you never see sight of that thread anyways
bad enough you pollute so many other good threads with your horseshit
and inability to play along with others like a halfway civilized person

[RudyRuetigger]

they aren't posted that's why I cant find them

fukkin clown

I love guys like you

we call them pillow pushers because that is what they lay on top of every night

[Fidel_CashFlow]

Just ask posters

DigDagDo
smokenjoke
kvb
Damanster
stevenash
perfectgrape

and actually some others as well if I dont post 95% of my plays here at sbr


dont want you to ruin this thread to so last post to you here
Your posts actually mess up the fluidity because it will go off track
even when a good discussion is going once you come into the mix
it gets derailed and the posts with relativity are back another page
because you pollute whatever was originally being discussed
which sucks because you should be thankful you are allowed to post here at all

[RudyRuetigger]

ok bro how does hall of fame voting for mlb players have anything to do with sports betting

this site is about sports betting

if its a dumbass thread I will post dumbass things
