el_jefe061 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Mariano: 129 SV, 376 2/3 IP, 337 K, 2.58 ERA, 1.13 WHIP Hoffman: 228 SV, 509 IP, 580 K, 2.69 ERA, 1.05 WHIP You HAVE to put Hoffman on there. Their numbers are both outstanding, and you can't hold him out considering he pitched so much more during the 90's than Rivera. Rivera didn't even make an impact till '97. Hoffman did it in '94. They're essentially equals. Hoffman didn't have the playoff impact, but that's because the Padres were not the Yankees. You can't promote a guy who played longer and had just as good numbers because he barely makes the cutoff. Hoffman should be in there easily. Rivera rightfully has his place in the 2000's, as he should. That's where he belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkslide820 Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 I came up with another idea for an All-Time Team, and it would be an interesting twist to what everyone would be used to. If I put the "Sports Illustrated All-Time All-Star Team" in the "MVP Legends" slot, I was thinking that it would be funny to put something like the "All-Time Worst Team" in the "MVP Heroes" slot. Imagine the likes of Mario Mendoza, Bill Bergen, Dan Briggs, and other players with subpar careers teaming together. Anyone got some suggestions?

Darkslide820 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 It was raining today, so I spent some time looking through the books and other forums' discussions on the topic to get some ideas. After putting some thought into it, here's my All-Time Worst Team: SP Jose Lima SP Jim Hughey SP Hideki Irabu SP Jaime Navarro SP Dave Lemanczyk MP Jack Kucek MP Jeff Byrd RP Ray Daviault RP Andy Larkin C Bill Bergen C Bob Uecker 1B Dan Briggs 2B Don Mason 2B Joe Quinn 3B Barry McCormick SS Mario Mendoza SS Jackie Hernandez IF Charlie Bastian LF Hank Allen CF Don Landrum CF Darren Lewis RF Sport McAllister OF Matt Alexander OF Tommy Dowd OF Ricky Ledee I tried to get a nice mix of eras, featuring not only one-year disasters but also lengthy bad careers. I feel that I accomplished that. As always, anyone with suggestions should feel free to comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_jefe061 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Even though "Lima Time" was pretty bad, he's probably not one of the worst ever. There has to be guys who are worse than Lima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkslide820 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 I put Lima on because: 1) I found multiple references regarding him as possibly the worst ever. 2) Before 2006 he had already posted -10 TPW lifetime. 3) He's been pretty bad for a long time. 4) He has an ERA of 5.26. 5) He once referred to himself as the worst pitcher ever. 6) He stinks. Besides, I'm trying to mix it up a little to get some old and some new. I don't really think that Ricky Ledee is one of the worst players ever (I actually have a good memory of him hitting an inside-the-parker at a Yankee game I went to), but he does have pretty bad numbers for over a decade and he gives me someone current to put on. Well, folks, since I now have my 1990's roster and my All-Bad roster, I guess it's time to start working on those CAPs before moving on to the next rosters. If anyone wants to help out (either with CAPs of your own, links to CAPs, or maybe some good pictures since Google isn't the absolut greatest) that would be much appreciated as I would like to retain some of my sanity.

RmembrZito75 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 When is this thing supposed to come out, it looks pretty sweet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkslide820 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 I appreciate the interest, but I never intended to make this public and have a release date. Hopefully I could get this done within the next few months before I start any jobs, so maybe I could put it up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
