A Rod is a monster. Second greatest ever that ive seen after Bonds. Hilarious that the Yankees were mad at him for showing up early to ST and wanted him gone. And fans booed him to start the year

 

Wonder if all those people and the organization still desperately want him gone now that he is their best player?

Kennedy for porcello lol.

 

Tripp so you never saw griffey/Thomas/miggy??

A rod better than miggy and lol at frank thomas. Paul Konerko top 10 all time bat too? 

 

Pujols there before miggy. Junior is way up there also, tough call between him and A Rod. People tend to take Griff simply because people dont like A Rod. But the guy is a monster. If not for injuries/suspension he would have had a somewhat real shot at Bonds' record

Are you serious? You realize Thomas peak was much better than ARODS right? Are you 5 years old?

Frank's career ops is 40 points better than a rod lol. Tripp thinks there's no argument to made.

 

Thomas is on a short list of players who have hit 500 home runs while maintaining a career .300 batting average (joining Hall-of-Famers: Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Mel Ott, Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and later joined by Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramírez andAlbert Pujols

 

Thomas is also on a short list of players to hit 500 career home runs and accrue at least 1600 bases on balls. The others are: Babe Ruth, Mel Ott, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, and Barry Bonds

 

Thomas was the first player in major league history to win two Silver Slugger awards each at two different positions (1993–94 at first base; 1991 & 2000 as designated hitter).He was only the eleventh player in history to win consecutive Most Valuable Player Awards, and the first American League player to do so since Roger Maris in 1960 and 1961

 

His 138 walks in the 1991 season was not only the most accrued in a season by anyAmerican League player in the 1990s, it was the most for a season by any American League player since 1969 when Harmon Killebrew walked 145 times.

 

Thomas' .729 slugging percentage for the shortened 1994 season was the highest season mark for an American League player since Ted Williams' 0.731 slugging percentage in 1957. Only Mark McGwire's 0.730 in 1996 has been higher since then.In the shortened 1994 season, Thomas achieved an on-base percentage of 0.494 which was also the highest season mark for an American League player since Ted Williams' 0.528 on-base percentage in 1957. No American League player has topped this since

Frank Thomas did not play any D. Aroid was a gold glove caliber ss for a long time.

Well we're talking hitting george.

 

Thomas has an argument for being the best right handed hitter in his prime of all time. A rod does not.

 

Thomas has an obp 50 points higher than a rod.

 

Overall player? A rod stole bases and was elite at short, clearly a rod a better all around ball player. As a hitter as tripp was saying? It's Thomas and it's not close.

 

Tripp if you meant overall, my apologies. Thought since you wwere talking bat production that it was the debate

Cool I think FT was under rated his whole career because he never had a truly monster year but he was very consistent.

The strike shortened season he was on pace to have the best offensive season from a right hander in mlb history. Still probably ranks top 5.

 

He won back to back mvps. Had a 1217 ops one year which is unheard of if your name isn't barry bonds.

 

6 of 7 years in a row he had an ops over 1000. A rod has had an ops over 1000 6 times in his entire career.

 

Frank's peak between 92-99 is about as good of a peak as anyone in the history of the game not named barry.

 

Highest praise you can give frank is he was the most feared hitter in the 90's, an era filled with steroid cheats.

He last pitched Wednesday

 

That's fine if you brought him in to get some work.  But why bring him in to get the last out of an inning in a blowout?  Just let him start the inning

 

 

Austin Adams pitching for Cleveland CHW CLE
Ramírez grounded out to pitcher. 8 2
Flowers flied out to left. 8 2
Allen relieved Adams. 8 2
Sánchez singled to left center. 8 2
Shuck hit for Eaton. 8 2
Shuck struck out swinging. 8 2
