	Good quiz but there are a few spelling errors. Mariners DH is Buhner.....Indians DH Ramirez.....Tigers 2b Gehringer......Maybe put Longoria ahead of Boggs for the Rays 3b. Thanks.

	VSNMAN:	Sep 26th, 2010 at 20:13 GMT	0 points
	Thanks for correcting the spelling. And you're right, Longoria is better than Boggs. Everything has been fixed

	i was a big charlie hough fan, but i'd imagine that nolan ryan played for the rangers long enough to be their top starting pitcher. also, you need to accept just griffey (or griffey jr.) and ripken (or ripken jr.) and ichiro. not sure why those 3 names need to be fully typed out to be accepted.

	Why Fox over Collins? Carew played 2 games of 2B while in California, Grich would be a good replacement. Maybe in Baltimore too. Minnie Minoso for the White Sox outfield. Goose Goslin instead of Dan Gladden, Joe Cronin instead of Greg Gagne. What are the rules for DH, cause Heilmann was a much better player than Fielder, and Sisler was better than Baines? Lajoie was an Athletic for less than 400 games, 2 at 3B, use Frank Baker.

	how come you have to type out cal ripken and ken griffey but not the others?

	VSNMAN:	Sep 26th, 2010 at 21:42 GMT	0 points
	Cal Ripken/Ken Griffey problem has been fixed. Charlie Hough vs Nolan Ryan is one I debated, but Ryan was really tailing away by the time he got to Texas. Hough had his best years there, and he did quite well. @Giggity1: Some teams had multiple good players at one position, and I felt we could not leave them out. I moved them to a position they had played before, even if it was for only a couple games. Many of the player selections can be argued, but clearly all the players I listed are candidates for their spot. It is obviously an opinionated quiz-but all the players can be guessed if you put in enough thought

	How are you guys playing this? I can't find it posted anywhere on the sporcle site....but it already has 42 plays

	Kicking222:	Sep 26th, 2010 at 22:11 GMT	1 point
	Ah, the ol' "quiz based solely on personal opinion". Perhaps my least-favorite type of quiz.

	chriskotx:	Sep 26th, 2010 at 22:16 GMT	0 points
	Wow...quite a list if Roger Clemens can't get on it.

	VSNMAN:	Sep 26th, 2010 at 22:26 GMT	0 points
	Lol ya... Roger Clemens was among the top candidates for the Red Sox and the Blue Jays... the opinion bases quiz is a very different quiz obviously but we didn't use just opinions but we also used stats.

	Giggity1:	Sep 26th, 2010 at 22:29 GMT	1 point
	I suppose you can do it that way. But then Jimmie Foxx should be the Boston catcher, and Ruth can play first base. Much stronger line-up. And Roger Clemens would slaughter Roy Halladay as the best Blue Jay pitcher. Found another one, Charlie Gehringer moves to 3B and then Lou Whitaker or Harry Heilmann can play 2B. Carlos Delgado caught a couple games for the Jays, now McGriff or Olerud can join the team. I don't really care what style you choose to do your quiz in, but at least do it consistently.

	Giggity1:	Sep 26th, 2010 at 22:35 GMT	1 point
	Aha! The best one yet. Ty Cobb pitched 5 innings for the Tigers! But in seriousness, Lajoie being an Athletic and Clemens not being a Jay is completely contradictory.

	antlyon:	Sep 26th, 2010 at 22:53 GMT	1 point
	Dempsey, Triandos, Hendricks, Etchebarren, or even Wieters as Orioles Catcher, not Javy Lopez. and you could make a case for Boog Powell as the DH on that team also.

	VSNMAN:	Sep 26th, 2010 at 23:23 GMT	1 point
	Halladay has been swapped out for Clemens

	Giggity1, I understand your comments, but they are a bit extreme. In the case of the quiz, Carew was chosen as a 2nd baseman for the California Angels because through a large majority of his career, he played second. You're examples of Ty Cobb pitching and Jimmy Foxx catching are quite over the top. When you think of Carew, you think of second baseman, and it is certainly a valid position for him to play. I understand that many people don't like it because it is opinionated-but I think most of the choices are fairly unarguable, with a few blunders. If you catch a mistake, please let me know.

	Giggity1:	Sep 27th, 2010 at 00:24 GMT	2 points
	Sure, I can respect that. And the Cobb example was silly. But I want to defend my use of Foxx. He caught 5x more often than Lajoie played 3B. And Lajoie played 3x more SS (73 games) than 3B (21 games), so I might suggest letting him have Tejada's spot instead.

	VSNMAN:	Sep 27th, 2010 at 00:36 GMT	1 point
	Point taken. What exact changes do you think I should make?

	Wayland:	Sep 28th, 2010 at 01:53 GMT	1 point
	Eddie Murray over George Sisler? Harold Baines over Eddie Murray? I agree that people who played hardly any games with a team at a position should not be listed at that position. Also, it should be Jimmie Foxx. Overall, this is ok, but you should at least qualify this. Personal opinion is not "unarguable."

	CRW:	Oct 11th, 2010 at 05:22 GMT	1 point
	I really enjoyed this, but I think the Carew thing (and some others) is just wrong. You are asking people to guess someone's opinion about who is the greatest 2B in the history of the Angels. I don't see how we can possibly think to guess a player who played 2 games there. Paul Molitor is another example. He NEVER played 3B for the Blue Jays. NOT ONCE. How can we guess that you would consider him their best ever? Wayland...pretty sure he did not consider George Sisler, since he played for the franchise before they were the Baltimore Orioles. Or some guys like Joe Cronin and Goose Goslin who would easily be on the Twins roster if he had considered them.
