Backdoor Slider 8,295 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I’m staying away from the Ty Cobb/Hank Greenberg types. Think it’s more interesting to stick with guys we’ve seen play. I think the Tigers are relatively easy (and boring). Miguel Cabrera (one of great RHH of last 40 years) Justin Verlander Alan Trammell Lou Whitaker The 4th name is probably the only one up for debate, but over 70 career bWAR. Seriously underrated. Hard to pick Magglio or Scherzer types who didn’t play majority of career here. That said, really interested to see some others. Indians, Yankees, Jays are a few teams I know well, and would have difficulty cutting it to 4. Who you got? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Junkie Cosmonaut 702 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Frank Thomas Harold Baines - Has no business being in the HOF, but he was the face of the White Sox for about 7-8 years in the 80s Paul Konerko Mark Buerhle Just missed: Fisk - Regardless of his time here, I always think Red Sox when I think Fisk Sale - Best White Sox pitcher I'll likely ever see, but can't stand him. F him, his scissors and his affection for Drake LaRoche's leadership. Ventura - Boring player, boring person. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was interested to dig deeper. Bernie edges him in fWAR, wRC+. Seems the right call by the closest of margins (then include championships). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
