Darkslide820 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I was wondering if anyone here ever saw or made All-Decade Teams for MVP. If you've seen anything like this, where? If you're like me and you're into history, who would you put at the different positions for the different squads? Here are the designations: 1800s (1871-1899) 1900s 1910s 1920s 1930s 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s (2000-2006) The first position I tried to think of was for catchers. Here's who I have so far: 1800s Buck Ewing, ??? 1900s Roger Bresnahan, ??? 1910s Ray Schalk, ??? 1920s Mickey Cochrane, Gabby Hartnett 1930s Gabby Hartnett, Mickey Cochrane 1940s ??? 1950s Yogi Berra, Roy Campanella 1960s ??? 1970s Johnny Bench, Carlton Fisk (27) 1980s Carlton Fisk (72), Gary Carter 1990s Ivan Rodriguez, Mike Piazza 2000s ??? (I-Rod again?) What do you guys think? Feel free to fill in the blanks for any position for any squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superciuc Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 you can put another blank like future so the top prospects or the 2006 rookies like mccann and mauer are there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 For thr 40's, you could use Bill Dickey of the Yankees, for the 60's, Elston Howard, and for 2000+, you have many good catchers, like Posada and Piazza, and possibly Paul lo Duca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philliesphan18 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'd stick Mauer in the 00-06 instead of Pudge. And is the Schmidt you reffered to Jason Schmidt or am I blanking out here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philliesphan18 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 yes,referred to jason schmidt and mauer played only 2 season in MLB Why in the world would you put in Jason Schmidt?

superciuc Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 maybe i will take out schilling or clemens,randy still pitched 372 strike outs in a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 But he was better in the 90's than in the 2000's IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 maybe i will take out schilling or clemens,randy still pitched 372 strike outs in a season Definitely leave Schilling in. I read on ESPN that he has the most consecutive games pitched in which he has thrown at least 5 innings (147 in row). This is the longest streak in the last 50 years. And besides he is a big game pitcher. In regards to the 5th starter, how about Johan Santana? To me he has been the most dominant in the big leagues in 2000s.

medric822 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Anyone can throw the 147 consecutive games going 5+ innings, it dosn't mean anything. He could be 12-130 record in that time, does that mean he was any good? I agree on Santana, but Zito is also good too. Is it Zito that never missed a start due to injury?

superciuc Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 medric 822 wrote johnson was better in 1990s but if he will be an hall of famer it will be for his K's that he made in 2000-06 and look at clemens and schilling 2000-06 numbers: Clemens w 88 l 44 1288 K schilling w 103 l 49 1444 k johnson w 120 l 59 1851 k he was a lot better then schilling and clemens only his ERA was higher then schilling and clemens ERA so i can say that he's in the rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Yeah, but the Wins dont mean much though. Also, Clemens didn't pitch lasy year until May, and should of had a better record than 7-6, since he had a era of like 2.27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Anyone can throw the 147 consecutive games going 5+ innings, it dosn't mean anything. He could be 12-130 record in that time, does that mean he was any good? But you know that he did not go 12-130 during that span. In fact he had 3 seasons in which he won more than 20 games - Clemens didn't accomplish this, Zito didn't accomplish this, Randy didn't accomplish this, and definitely Halladay didn't accomplish this. His win-loss record in the 2000s - 97-43, a .692 winning percentage. Barry Zito - 102-63 with a .618 winning percentage. And besides can you list those who have thrown 147 consecutive games going 5+ innings because to my knowledge he is the first one to do it in over 50 years. An active pitcher close to that streak is Johan Santana with 91. EDIT: I am sorry, forgot to add in Schilling's 2000 season. So his record actually is 103-49, a .677 winning percentage - which is still pretty darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superciuc Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 maybe i'll make some changes Santana Zito Schilling Clemens R.Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I agree on Santana, but Zito is also good too. Is it Zito that never missed a start due to injury? I believe it was Tom Glavine who had not visited the DL in his whole career until recently (I think only after joining the Mets did he make the trip to the disabled list). Now thats an awesome thing to do in baseball - especially for a pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such an odd and off the wall fact that if you dig through, you'd probably find a few wo ave do that, or came close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
