Is there a better 3-4-5 than Ortiz, Manny & Nomar?

sherman · Jun 25, 2004

yankees are close but who else?

Mr.Leisure · Jun 25, 2004

angels cant compare.
reds and cards are good but i still give the edge to the sox. call me biased.

wilheim · Jun 26, 2004

Sherman, I don't think anyone is saying the other line-ups mentioned are better, but just comprable. These type of discussions are pretty subjective, we will have to take a look at the numbers at the season's end.

Big Daddy Vladdy
GA
Glaus

No better 3,4 than Big Daddy Vladdy and GA, not in my lifetime. maybe Gherig and Ruth are close.

sherman · Jun 26, 2004

whoa, slow down railbird...

wilheim · Jun 26, 2004

If were talking say last 40 years;

76 Reds:
Morgan
Bench
Perez

wil.

Railbird · Jun 26, 2004

Disagree will

Ill take GA over Moragan
Ill take Vladdy over Bench by a mile
Glaus-Perez even, maybe Perez but not by the margin GA and Vlad have over Johnny and Joe.

All had 30+ in a pitchers park, which is the equivlent to 50+ now.

wilheim · Jun 26, 2004

Rail - Like I said this is very subjective and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Unless you watched the Big Red Machine in the 76 World Series (4-0 sweep of Yanks) then you never can really appreciate the lineup.

Dodgers were 2nd best team in baseball that year. your case maybe stronger with the 77 Reds if you use

Rose
Foster
Perez

I remember the line up going something like

Moragan
Rose
Bench
Foster
Perez
Griffey
Concepcion
Geronimo
Billingham,Norman,Gullett,

bucsfan67 · Jun 26, 2004

currently speaking...

I'm pretty happy with my..

Alou
Sosa
Ramirez
and Derek Lee #6 aint bad either..

Fishhead · Jun 26, 2004

GEHRIG
RUTH
MEUSEL

Jacksorbetter+ · Jun 26, 2004

Cards
Rolen 341 18 75
Pujols 305 20 51
Edmunds 272 15 47

Sox
Ortiz 302 18 69
Ramirez 337 20 57
Nomar 250 1 7

I know Nomar is just getting back but I'll still take the Cards. As good as Ortiz and Manny have been this year, Rolen has been even better.

5teamparlay · Jun 26, 2004

is ortiz even close to sheffield (hof) a- rod and giambi.

BrianG103 · Jun 26, 2004

At this moment

Moises Alou
Sammy Sosa
Aramis Ramirez

Looking pretty damn good, only if the Cubs didnt have so many injuries at the beginning..

Having a set batting lineup and pitching rotation, the division wouldn't even be close.

manny ramirez is a retard with bad hair and no clue how to field or run the bases

Fortunetly, being one of the greatest hitters of all-time more than makes up for that.

PS- he is not a retard, and I would suggest you show some class and change that adjective.
