46 Thanks for the contest.
#43 for today please
I will take Will Clark's #22 today. Thanks!
Today's selection - #2.
For the HOF/not HOF argument today - let's see what Bucco fans think - Andrew McCutchen. My opinion, no chance for the HOF. Curious to see what others think.

Great player! He has to rebound from a down year and have another stretch like he did from 2012-2015 and then some if he wants a shot at being elected to the HOF.
You bet Jeff, thank you for being a great contributor and keeping these threads fun! I enjoy running these as much as everyone hopefully enjoys the great dialogue we are having!! Great community, the Bench!
Numbers taken: 2, 7, 8, 12, 16, 19, 22, 24, 29, 32, 38, 43, 44, 46, 47, 48, 55, 59, 72, 77, 95.
Agreed, a great of our era, and time will tell how the rest of his career unfolds, but I think he probably will go down as a strong player on some average teams....if he ends up with a World Series or two, that will change the conversation probably in the future!
Going into this season:
Batting average .292
Hits 1,304
Home runs 175
Runs batted in 637
Stolen bases 160
I think since he had his hair cut, he probably improved his bat speed, dont you guys agree?
I'll go with 63 today. Thanks.
I'll take 14. Thanks for the contest.
My favorites as a kid who would fit this criteria would be Rich Gedman, Gorman Thomas and Kent Hrbek.
Gedman, a two-time all star and Massachusetts native, always seemed to be like a guy who I could identify with as a kid; not especially talented, but through hard work accomplished quite a bit during his time with the Sox.
Gorman Thomas seemed larger than life to me as a kid. In 1982, my first year I remember being truly cognizant of baseball, he led the league in homers. As an impressionable 10 year old, I was awestruck at a Sox game that year. Playing for the Brewers, he swatted a homer over the Monster, over the 20 foot net that extended past the Monster and rumor had it, onto the Mass Turnpike. To me he seemed to be the embodiment of Casey except that he didn't let his team down.
Kent Hrbek always seemed to be like Gedman, in that he didn't stand out among his peers at first baseball but through hard work made it as a ball player. He seemed just like an everyday guy, approachable and easy to identify with.
