Each Team's Mount Rushmore

[blueandgoldguy]

Jays:

Halladay, Stieb and Alomar are easy. Fourth one is tougher. It's a toss-up between Bautista and Delgado. I will go with Bautista.

A few other prominent Jays that would warrant some consideration would be Jimmy Key who was quietly the 3rd best pitcher in Jays history (better than Hentgen imo), Hentgen, Fernandez, Barfield, Bell, Henke, White, Wells.

McGriff, Donaldson didn't play enough years for the jays to warrant consideration

I will take a stab at the Cardinals:

Musial, Hornsby, Pujols, Gibson

And Phillies:

Schmidt, Carlton, Rolen, Utley

You forgot about Clemens, didn't you?

Rollins?

Nobody did Tampa. I'll go with:

Longoria (duh), Price (duh), Crawford (duh) and I guess Ben Zobrist based on his long tenure with the team? Who else would it be? Shields? Kiermaier? Someone else?

longoria, price, crawford, and zobrist sounds right

anyone done the d-backs yet?

i'd go with goldy, gonzalez, johnson, schilling

 

[Neutrinos]

Brewers would be:

Yount, Molitor, Braun... Higuera? Fielder?

 

[Neutrinos]

Royals would be:

Brett, Bo Jackson, Saberhagen... Alex Gordon?

 

[Unholy Diver]

Royals would be:

Brett, Bo Jackson, Saberhagen... Alex Gordon?

Brett, Saberhagen, Frank White, Willie Wilson

 

[Terry Yake]

Brewers would be:

Yount, Molitor, Braun... Higuera? Fielder?

yount, molitor, braun, fielder

i'd give fielder the slight edge over cecil cooper

 

[Neutrinos]

Brett, Saberhagen, Frank White, Willie Wilson

I considered Wilson, and then promptly forgot about him when compiling the final list

Tough to leave off Bo though because he was quite possibly the most popular baseball player in the world during his time with the Royals

 

[Neutrinos]

I think I might give the edge to Coop, now that you mention him

 

[Terry Yake]

not sure if i saw a padres one

gwynn, hoffman, winfield, jones

I did.

I went with Webb over Schilling.

 

[Neutrinos]

gwynn, hoffman, winfield, jones

Tom? Quincy? Paula? Basketball?

I have no idea who that "Jones" would be

Randy Jones, he won a Cy Young with them.

 

[rangerssharks414]

gwynn, hoffman, winfield, jones

Peavy?

Tom? Quincy? Paula? Basketball?

I have no idea who that "Jones" would be

I would think Randy Jones

 

[EpochLink]

Texas Rangers:

Ivan Rodriguez, Adrian Beltre, Juan Gonzalez, Nolan Ryan

 

[Neutrinos]

Peavy?

I forgot about him

Both he and Jones have a Cy Young with the Padres, though Peavy's was also a Triple Crown season

 

[Tecumseh]

Dodgers

Campanella, Robinson, Koufax, Reese/Drysdale/Snider/Wheat (take your pick)

 

[Terry Yake]

Peavy?



I would think Randy Jones

yes randy jones. and i forgot all about peavy or i probably would've included him over jones

Texas Rangers:

Ivan Rodriguez, Adrian Beltre, Juan Gonzalez, Nolan Ryan

i'd put andrus over ryan

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

I gotta have Walsh on mine, either for Faber or Collins.



Not a chance, he only played 4 full seasons for them.

I wonder with the White Sox if you could/need to find a spot for Konerko

 

[Thedogo]

I surprised no White Sox fan has mentioned him.
