Baseball: Best Foundation Players

Someone like miguel tejada or soriano, great power players in postions that lack power, so u shuld start with them because there are alot of quality first, third, and of's so start with the rarer ones, any1 else agree
?

vidro is a 3 hitter

I like Varitek. He plays in a position that isn't know for a good bat. They are known for only being the leader on the field. But when you got a guy like Varitek who is the best field general in baseball and is also knocking the cover off the ball that is bonus. He was batting over .300 for most of the season then is in a little slump. That is rare for a catcher.

victor martinez is good too

posada sucks now

Yea no kidding. He does nothing except get big sack flies in 11-0 wins

its sac fly not sack and yea he sucks now

in 2003 he was insane tho

How was Jorge Posada insane in 2003? He batted like .260 with 12 home runs.

and sorry about the whole SACK/SAC thing, mister Quigly

just thought you should know that siggs

Vladdy, Arod, Pujols gota be the 3 best all around ball players in the league. All future 1st ballots. Not to mention Vladdy spent the first half of his career in MTL that has no market. Somethin the majority of big leaguers dont deal with

he almost had a 40/40 year once too

Both Guerrero and Soriano both missed 40/40 seasons by 1 home run (two players the mets could've had).

Pujols or MCabrera.

Pujols is a better hitter for average and power

i think something that is highly underrated is the importance of a good team player. take for instance a barry bonds
i would take an arod over bonds any day; or even someone wiht less of talent. look at past teams, WS winners, marlins, angels, red sox kind of. they had the same mentality. team aspect; no stars. guys like bonds hurt their team just as much as they do help because its all about them. Arod was the best SS in the league and dindt blink an eye to move to 3rd base. helluva team player

Marlins and Angels are good examples of team players...and the Red Sox are a good example of good players working together and playing loose....the 86 mets were a good "team" as well
