Baseball List....

dmmd98 · Jun 24, 2005

Watching players these days sometimes I think to myself hey this player plays like so and so back in the day. While I could come up with more names I came up with a basic list and see if anyone can think of anything more to add.

Vladmir Guerrero - Roberto Clemente
Roger Clemens - Nolan Ryan
Lyle Overbay - Rafeal Palmerio
John Smoltz - Jack Morris
John Frnaco - John Franco
Eric Gagne - Goose Goosage
Craig Biggio - Joe Morgan
Derrick Lee - Fred McGriff
Corey Patterson - Rob Deer

John Frnaco - John Franco :lolBIG:

How about Julio Franco-Julio Franco

lol....i figured i'd made my point with the John Franco joke no need to overkill it, plus Juilo still has some talent in him. Hell i remember has a kid trying to hit like he did what my bat way over my head.

Ken Griffey Jr reminds me of Willie Mays :103631605

Scott Rolen=Mike Schmidt also

SportsCapperIsland · Jun 25, 2005

Pudge=Gary Wilson :lolBIG:

dmmd98 · Jun 25, 2005

i was thinking the Rolen-Schmidt as well but i was too lazy to confirm the spelling of Schmidt

SportsCapperIsland · Jun 25, 2005

yeah I wouldnt of known the spelling either if I wasnt a phils fan lol

Journeyman · Jun 25, 2005

I was going to say Schmidt /Rolen

Corey Patterson, Rob Deer? I just don't see that one...besides the K's

You have a lot of good ones though...

Journeyman · Jun 25, 2005

Clemens, Ryan a very good one...Don't see Morgan and Biggio though

Journeyman · Jun 25, 2005

Here's a good one

Richie Sexson, Dave Kingman

Scott Podsednik kinda reminds me of Rickey Henderson... Probably many better ones out there. Schmidt/Rolen was the first one coming to my mind as well.

I also think Kerry Wood reminds me more of Nolan Ryan than Clemens does.

Kinda obvious one because of the mechanics... D-Train to Fernando Mania

Journeyman · Jun 25, 2005

D Train and Vida Blue..no brainer.

dmmd98 · Jun 25, 2005

lol...Patterson-Deer was might to be a joke since all Patterson does is strike out and he only swings for the fences.

Journeyman · Jun 25, 2005

El Duque reminded me of a throw back style player, but couldn't match him up, maybe a cross between Gibson and Marichal.

GreenDoberman · Jun 25, 2005

interesting list,

I'd go with:
Adam Dunn-Mark McGwire (or deer)
Johan Santana-Vida Blue
Jesse Orosco-Methusaleh
Carlos Delgado-Willie Stargell
Rickie Weeks-Joe Morgan

AFLGuru · Jun 25, 2005

Mentioning El Duque...

Livan to Marichal??? Kinda a crappy one I guess, but it's not bad... Both dudes with rubber arms... then again I guess everyone had a rubber arm by today's standards back in the day.

AFLGuru · Jun 25, 2005

Name just slipped away from me... but Brian Giles to someone else who had a goofy looking stance up at the plate... someone's gonna say the name and I'm gonna shoot myself... Can't think of it for the life of me but JUST had it...

Journeyman · Jun 25, 2005

I was thinking Giles and Dykstra actually...

Not bad, but not who I was thinking of... it'll hit me eventually.
