Let me here your top 5 favorite players all time from your team.

No particular order:

Robinson Rojas - The 1st player ever in the NDL...ever! Drafted #1 overall in the 2010 inaugural draft
Greg Hernandez - Was a solid catcher for me, otherwise would never crack this list, but he was the WS MVP in my lone title year
Jeremy McGuire - Best player on my title team
Martin Ramirez - Triples machine!
Mike "Crafty" McGee - Couldn't come up with a 5th, he'll do just to piss Billy off

Mcguire was a beast!!!!

[Graywolf357]

Greeks

1. Naohiro Nonaka
2. Miguel Acosta
3. Walt Johnson
4. Juan Lugo
5. Sojuro Sakamoto

Dead fucking last and I hope he is rotting in digital hell…. Kyle Lee

No Warner Woods wtf haha

Beef:

1B Wayne Washington - reminded me of Frank Thomas (minus the BA, although he was a career .278 hitter)
DH Steve Bryant - burst into the league hitting .379 as a rookie and then .354 his second year. 3rd year he retired due to concussion syndrome
SS Bryan Yang - could have won more MVP's if it hadn't been for his arch nemisis from that shitty Miami team we wont mention
C Sergio Romero - one of the better Catchers we have had. Why is it we have had maybe 10 all time great Catchers?
C Hunter White - see above

If I remember correctly Bryant had less than 20 games in his rookie season without a hit, and had a bunch of 2, 3 and 4 hit games that year.

9 seasons of 4+ WAR.... Soooooo bad 75% of the time!!!



Arieta's career WAR is 24. McGee hit that when he was 25.

Mcguire was a beast!!!!

Not a terrible Rule 5 pick.

He did a great job avoiding a positive PED test.

Miami has more than 5 and we don’t wanna disrespect any names we miss

[DRiccio21]

SPITTERS (no particular order):

1. Rick "Booger" Meyer - won ROY and an MVP then had career destroyed by an injury the year after he won MVP and never was above replacement level again

2. Steve Cannon - 2 time MVP, won a ring, countless other awards.

3. Kevin Thomas - was going to reserve this for "Spitter lifers only' but Cyborg was a huge part of our teams history and put up historical numbers in a Spitter jersey.

4. Alonso Villarreal - Sneezy leads many of the all time categories for his longevity with the team and was a part of the '73 title team.

5. Luis 'Guns' Torres - 16 seasons of service all as a Spitter. career .311 hitter

[DRiccio21]

No Kyle Bryant on the Spitters list surprised me

Yeah I meant to have him, just an oversight.

I tried to look thru longest tenured dudes as that’s what I’m typically most proud of and enjoy the most
