Could you add him in for me Jeffy?

Biggio is a bigger slam dunk than Palmeiro and Schilling.

Better peak than Palmeiro and played a tougher position.

Schilling I might rescind my statement on.

Edit: Forgot, playing in the Astrodome Biggio and Bagwell played in a terrible offensive home park.

Basically, Biggio was a beast of a player and one of the 10 best position players of the 90's (if not higher).

So Bonds, Piazza, but no Clemens. Can I ask why?

**Yankee Clipper** · 11-23-2012, 07:47 PM

Wow, this class is loaded.

I honestly can't think of a good reason. Had Mattingly sustained his 84-87 production for 4-5 more years longer he'd have a much better chance.

Barry Bonds
Roger Clemens
Craig Biggio
Mike Piazza
Jeff Bagwell
Lee Smith
Tim Raines
Edgar Martinez
Fred McGriff
Dale Murphy

Also, if anyone wants to explain why they voted Piazza but not Clemens/Bonds I'm all ears.

I haven't seen any real hard evidence to suggest he cheated.

The only thing I've heard with Piazza was a writer in NY wanted to write a piece on his bacne during his time with the mets and that he put on 20 lbs of muscle in the winter of 98 working out in Venice Beach. None of that holds serious weigh or proves anything though, as far as I'm concerned Mike was a clean player.
