[QUOTE="Revolution, post: 5242878, member: 572875"] The guys you are talking about are great stat guys but thats about it. Real special players are the guys who not only get the stats but carry and lead the team, guys who make it happen. Look at Kirby Puckett for instance. He was a great hitter and a great fielder but what made him hall of fame was Clutch hitting with runners on and sparking big rallies. He would come through with the game on the line or make gold glove plays to win. Even the little things like running everything out, hustling and keeping the team pumped up. Many guys can compile excellent numbers but how many do that and clutch hit and lead their teams. When you look at great baseball teams over history they all had one of them and had guys who worked hard and knew their roles. Some these teams have way too many huge egos and try to buy the World Series. When the guys come up together through their system they seem to play much better together. [/QUOTE]
