Griffith Stadium was, for most of its use, a miserable park to hit for power, but Rice didn't hit for power anywhere (lifetime SLG .427, which ain't much for a .322 hitter).Edward Thomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769979703606661737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195084204316698108.post-1284548683264194822009-07-06T17:37:57.133-05:002009-07-06T17:37:57.133-05:00I continue to think that Hunter was overrated.

However, he rarely was able to "carry" the team like many of the other members of your list. Plus, he continues to be unable to hit a breaking ball low and away. I gather than guys like Walter Johnson and Sam Rice don't qualify for your list?BS2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195084204316698108.post-11230085674109487872009-07-06T12:45:34.063-05:002009-07-06T12:45:34.063-05:00It's really hard to disagree with any of your ...It's really hard to disagree with any of your picks, Ed. I'm glad to see you pick my boyhood hero, Harmon, as #1. I would, too. I think the only one I would pick differently would be Kaat over Hunter. While Torii was a valuable player for a few years, Kitty was a tremendous ironman of a pitcher for a long time. I think he would deserve the pick over Hunter on my list.GZimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343987749136219839noreply@blogger.com
