To quote Gantry, you should get your head examined if you think Ozzie was better than Sandberg.  I agree with Ryno, Nolan Ryan should be ranked better than Sandberg.

I've never been able to take Posnanski seriously because of that ridiculous photo of him in that old-timey Frank Sinatra hat that appeared in all of his articles he used to write in Sports Illustrated.

i think sometimes pitchers are overrated because they only effect 30 games a year, whereas a regular player would be in about 150+.

[TempoGL]

Yes, but the starting pitcher's impact on the outcome of the games that he appears in is much greater.

Also, that's not a very nice thing to say about Fathed.

I agree with this, but how do you feel about the older guys that pitched every third or fourth game?

I was thinking the same thing.     Merry Christmas to you too, you bastard!

But Fathed DID pitch almost every game last season, injuries aside.
