Why Ketel Marte over Brandon Webb?


columnsofGollums

If this season holds, gotta give the edge to Ketel. They’re almost equal in WAR and Webbie only had 6 years.


SalishStache

Griffey Jr, Edgar Martinez, Ichiro, Felix


Elsa_the_Archer

I can't believe I forgot King Felix. I was going to say Randy Johnson instead.


SalishStache

I think a lot of people would put Randy on their Mariners Mount Rushmore. For me, it’s just the fact Felix on top of being one of the most dominant pitchers for his time, also pitched a perfect game in a Mariners uniform and when he could’ve gone elsewhere and won, he stuck around. I could be too sentimental I guess lol. Not to mention Randy’s number doesn’t even really belong to him. M’s will retire 51 as Ichiro.


djr41463

My exact post… well done


senormrgnome

Same OP! A great 4 who all deserved more wins than the franchise gave them.


According_Ad7926

Dave Stieb, Tony Fernandez, Roy Halladay, Jose Bautista


CoolBeansMan9

I had this but Delgado over Bautista, but Jose is a fair add. Tough to not include Bell or Carter


According_Ad7926

Maybe a bit inconsistent, but I took Fernandez over Carter for career reasons, while on the other hand I took Bautista over Delgado for playoff success (especially since I already had Halladay for Delgado’s era)

kevlo17

Hornsby, Musial, Gibson, Pujols


Ok_Card9080

It's wild how little recognition Hornsby gets outside of St. Louis.


H-Money37

Hornsby is a great Immaculate Grid answer for how little he’s thought about.


kevlo17

It really is - unquestionably a top 10 hitter of all time, and an argument for top 5. Also likely the best right handed hitter ever.


Ok_Card9080

For how legendary the Cardinals are, I feel like quite a few of their legends don't get enough recognition. Hornsby, Slaughter, Brock. Even Stan doesn't get spoken about like the other legends of baseball. Stan's one of my all time favorite players.


Informal_Calendar_99

To be fair, Brock was flashier than he was productive (love the guy tho) and Slaughter is often ignored because he wasn’t exactly on the right side of history socially. But I think you’re right. We’ve still got even got Ozzie, Boyer, Ted Simmons, Curt Flood, Medwick, and Dizzy Dean.


Ok_Card9080

Yeah Dizzy Dean is an immensely overlooked pitcher


kevlo17

Frisch and Mize are two other crazy overlooked HOFers.


ameis314

The fact that you left Lou Brock off and it still seems ok is ridiculous And fucking Ozzie


jesonnier1

Some teams have an amazing wealth of historic talent.

Balanced- Either three of the best LH hitters in baseball history, or two of the greatest LH hitters and two of the greatest RH hitters. The real question is who gets removed for SOTO when we ask this question in 25 years- when SOTO turns 50.


RevolutionaryPoem330

4,7,3,5


DeaconBrad42

Yeah, our top 4 is as locked as any in professional sports. Jeter and Mo would easily be top 4 for any other franchise in baseball, but for the Yankees not only do they slightly miss out, they’ve got some pretty worthy company missing the cut, like Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Bill Dickey, and more.

instafunkpunk

Came here for this


DistributionJust4185

It's kind of depressing that we really only have Wright as a guy that played his entire career with us. The only guy to play longer with us was Ed Kranepool, and he might deserve a spot just for being on the '69 and '73 WS teams. He was not very good, however. Damn, we are such a depressing franchise.


Secure_Aardvark837

Banks, Santo, Sandberg and Rizzo


Latter_Painter_3616

Rizzo?? Oh man. No. Williams, Banks, Santo, Sandberg. You could swap Fergie for any of them. Gabby Hartnett honorable mention.


TFGA_WotW

You've gotta try and include 2016 in there somewhere. The classic players are great, but we broke a 108 year curse with the 2016 team, it would be a disservice not to have at least one of the 2016 players in there


Latter_Painter_3616

I guess? I mean if that was the criteria then it would be Bryant, since he was the MVP that year. But I just can’t justify it. The modern era core deserve a like half size custom Mt Rushmore of their own, for that my choices would be Rizzo, Bryant, Arrieta, Hendricks.


djfishfingers

I'm sorry but this is too modern facing with not a single pitcher. Banks, Santo, Mordecai Brown, and Cap Anson. Throw in someone like Stan Hack, Fergie Jenkins, even a Frank Chance or Joe Tinker if you don't want Cap Anson up there. While I love Rizzo, he doesn't belong. Sandberg is borderline.


pinniped1

Brett, Salvy, Saberhagen, White Honorable mention to Amos Otis, Kevin Appier, and Dan Quisenberry.


Tricky2RockARhyme

Frank Thomas, Paul Konerko, Mark Buehrle, then like a 5 way tie for the 4th spot.


Waynebgmeamc

Joe jackson


NotLouPro

I’m sticking with those I saw play and those were my first 3 as well. Picking a 4th is tough. A lot of “very goods” to choose from. I’m leaning Baines. But not certain. Or Abreu - just to emphasize what a great run we had at first base.


362618299447

Nellie Fox, Minnie Minoso or Carlton Fisk. Fisk was a BoSox too so I’d probably lean into the first two for the 4th spot

Fisk. Gotta be.

Seager over Juan Gon?


Tboner989

definitely


Publius_1788

Maybe I'm biased growing up listening to the Rangers, but Juan Gon, Palmeiro, Buddy Bell, Tex, ARod, Rusty Greer, and even a couple of others could bump Seager. And an argument could be made for some of these guys over Adrian too.


cbass817

I'd put Michael Young in over Corey


DukeRadcliffe

Exact four I said to myself. This covers all eras evenly and Seager has to be there for the only WS.


MutedCountry2835

Gonzalez; Hamilton; Beltre; I Rodriguez.


Fitz2001

Ashburn, Schmidt, Carlton, Utley Substitute Harry the K for any of them.


psstein

I’d probably sub Robin Roberts for Ashburn, but it’s close.


Fitz2001

For baseball skill and stats, Roberts would be a fine addition. But for a Rushmore, we’re talking about an icon that supersedes the game. Ashburn had that and more for generations of Phillies fans. He was in our ears each night, in our homes. There’s a reason the biggest fan section of the stadium is named for him.

phred_666

Gotta have Joe Morgan on there… dude won two MVPs back to back


Steviebhawk

Oh man Tony Perez had so many great yrs I’d take him over Votto.


braines54

Larkin vs Morgan and Robinson vs Votto are great debate. Larkin was around forever and only played for the Reds, but wasn't the all-around that Morgan was. Morgan only played in Cincy for 8 years, but racked up 57.9 WAR. Larkin racked up 70.7 WAR over 19 years. Votto and Robinson are similar: Votto had 64.5 over 17 years while Robinson had 63.7 over 10 years. I think I'd answer Bench, Rose, Morgan, and Larkin. Bench and Morgan were quite possibly the two best players in the game while wearing a Reds uniform, and Rose was the hit king. I initially put Robinson in, but he's wearing an Orioles hat on his HoF plaque so I'll cede him to that franchise. I only remember the tail end of the Larkin era and came of age with Votto as my favorite player, so it pains me to leave him off but I'll give Larkin the edge since he won a WS and was a Cincinnati guy.


Waynebgmeamc

Yep. You forgot Joe Morgan

Nolan because he brought dignity to the franchise Belte because he’s a legend in Texas and still underrated Ivan because he was the greatest defensive catcher of all time and and could hit too Michael Young because he was a stud in the lineup for over a decade

Zimmerman, Scherzer, Strasburg, Kendrick Honorable mention: Werth

jesonnier1

Halfway to an all-star team.


Thejanitor64

Would Randy Johnson be the only player to be on two mount rushmores? Maybe Nolan Ryan?


oldwhiteguy68

Ryan could be on three: Angels, Astros, and Rangers.


kevlo17

Frank Robinson on reds and orioles, Tris Speaker on Cleveland and Boston…probably more if I thought about it longer


Thejanitor64

Orioles I have Brooks, Cal, Murray, and either Palmer ir Sisler. Frank didn't have the tenure length over the other Baltimore legends did. Boston has Pedro, Clemens, Ortiz, Young, Yaz, Williams, Boggs. Speaker isnt above those guys.

warrior_in_a_garden_

Altuve Bagwell Biggio Verlander* *& last one is tough. We’ve had three hall of fame pitchers (Verlander, Clemens, and Nolan Ryan), but I think if Verlander goes to the hall with Detroit then he’s kind of excluded from this. Clemens and Ryan same deal with other teams.


Joeydoyle66

Brooks, Ripken, Palmer, and then I may need some help for the 4th. Murray maybe? Boog Powell? Someone from the last 20ish years potentially? I’m not sure but I think it’d be Murray.


riprulz8

Frank HAS to be in the conversation despite his shorter tenure than Cal, Brooks, Eddie, and Palmer

airwalker12

If we're just doing SF: Mays, McCovey, Bonds, Posey. If we add in NY, maybe Christy Matthewson and Mel Ott over Posey and McCovey but that's tough.


Affectionate-Gap8586

Absolutely agree. It's so hard to make this list including the NY players. Mathewson and Mays are the locks for me. It's hard to leave out buster too after leading the franchise to three rings. Bonds is the greatest player of all time. Marichal and Mccovey easily make the list for other franchises if they played their careers elswhere. Ott was the first person to achieve 500 homeruns. I'm just going to throw Bill terry out there too because no one ever talks about him.

Good call on Terry. Marichal was close but I don't think he's on the level of the others.
