ITT Who is better. MLB version.
Rules. You cant have a SP vrs a 3B or anything like that. Both players have to play the same position. That means no SP vrs RP or SP vrs CP. Oh and to make it interesting You can say the year too, for instance I could say the 1999 Pedro Martinez instead of just Pedro. (for anyone who cares he went 23-4 that year)

Ill start.

C.C Sabathia AS A BREWER vrs Johan Santana

C.C., obviously.

OK, this season: Ian Kinsler or Dan Uggla (excluding all-star game)

Last year's Beckett, just because he could pitch in the fucking playoffs.

I gotta go with Randy Johnson. Schilling was a fucking beast and has always stepped it up when it really counts, but Randy in 2001 was unhittable.

Robin Yount or Paul Molitor BOTH AS BREWERS

2001 Curt Schilling just because Curt Schilling is a fucking badass

not really. Babe Ruth was a pitcher, and a pretty fantastic one at that.

I would definitely take Ruth, even though I love Bob Gibson.

1968 Denny McClain (last 30 win season, and only 30 2in season in last 80 years) OR 2004 Pedro Martinez

You are clearly looking at the power numbers.

Reyes impacts the game more than most players, the only one I can think of who impact the game like that is Albert Pujols.

Nolan Ryan

Dead ball era = fail

Also add in the Reyes vs. Ramirez comparisons that Ramirez will eventually move out of the SS postion and probably a corner infielder (1b/3b) or a corner outfielder.

Plus, Hanley will probably be a future middle of the order hitter and not be a lead-off hitter. Ramirez is a future 40-40 player.

unless you are talking about mathewson's 1908 season

If we're talking specific seasons, I think Johnson in '13 was better. 36 wins?! OK, no more dead ball shit.

Rogers Hornsby in '29 or Ted Williams in '49.

That's tricky because Greenberg missed some of his prime because of WWII. I still have to go with Gehrig in his prime.
