Go look at Zimmerman and Neil Walkers Accomplishments and then Go look at Joe Carters careers. Look at the MVP voting, the AS appearances the awards over a career mean nothing you you people who only believe that a players career is solely based of War which is based on a formula and not how a player actually played.
You dont know how to use this site. You arent responding to anyone. Anyways nobody is basing anything off war. Carter wasnt thay great outside of war. Zimmerman has a better OPS.
Again what has Zimmerman done, How many AS games how many top 10 or 20 MVP voting. You really think Ryan Zimmerman was a better player cause WAR tells you that. This is laughable
Is everyone on this site just brain dead? Can you read dude? For now the second time Zimmerman has a better career OPS.......thats not WAR. Thats a traditional stat. It is laughable that you cant read or use google
When you will get it that comparing Zimmerman to Carter proved my point that WAR is overrated.
I hope you are just trolling at this point. Ryan zimmerman is the better player by traditional stats as well, as I have pointed out many times now
Not even close at all, Accomplishments will show that.
Dude. You are slow. Are you really going to use all star appearances as a measure to who is better? Is starlin castro better than kris bryant?
Since WAR is to much for your brain lets use traditional stats.
BA - Ryan
OBP- ryan
Slugging - ryanThe dude has a better Batting average, on base and slugging. What even is the argument anymore? Ryan zimmerman is the better player and its not just WAR that tells us that. You didnt do very well in school did you?
Actually dude has been pretty clear what he's getting at, and you're too slow to hear it. Here's the point:
I think people remember Joe Carter as fondly as they do because of context. Think about it this way:
-
He was the cleanup hitter on back-to-back champion Jays teams.
-
He was the best RF in the American League at the time. Canseco was better, but not by 92-93 thanks to injuries, Winfield was a DH now, and nobody else was close. The NL the only one clearly better was Tony Gwynn. Could make an argument for a young Larry Walker/Dave Justice, but they were really young at the time.
-
Also remember he came up big in the WS for the Blue Jays. He had 11 RBI in 12 WS games those 2 years, including the walkoff homer that won the '93 series.
Put into context, people watching baseball between 1985-1995 thought Joe Carter was a great player. Not sure-fire HOF material, but borderline.
Can you ever even make something resembling an argument that Ryan Zimmerman:
- Received any real MVP consideration in any year?
- Meant much of anything to a team that won anything?
- Would be considered anywhere close to the best player at his position in the NL, or top 2-3 in the MLB?
The Jays, who were already good, traded away Fred McGriff and Tony Fernandez (McGriff was great, and Fernandez was a good hitter, really fast, and an elite SS), in their primes, to get Joe Carter. That says a lot for how the MLB viewed that player in 1990. Zimmerman has always been viewed as a good player, but not a difference maker. Joe Carter was. No context when you just look at numbers of players who played 25 years apart.
Id like you to send me the people who thought a 306 on base was borderline HOF.
I can make a resembling argument that Zimmerman was a significantly better hitter by all metrics. The OPS isnt all that close. And yes Zim was 100% considered a top tier third baseman in his prime.
We are sitting here arguing about a 770 ops hitter. Just because he played on good teams and hit a cool home run makes him better than someone who is clearly better by all metrics AND traditional stats. Better average on base and slugging. And some arent even close. Thats Weird.
I actually agree with most of what you said, I just disagree in my opinion Carter was better, We just look at the stats differently and the 306 is not much lower than Zimmermans 343. I will take the 400 plus 300 plus HR the less K rate per plate appearance and Carters 771 to Zimmerman's 818 not much of a difference and over 200 more Rs, almost 200 more SB. SlG is very close, Zimmerman had more BB. I do not think Carter is a HOF. I do think what puts him there is the WS and playoff performances.
Bruh. A 306 to a 343 on base is HUGEEEEE. Once again he had 2000 more ABs. Thats why his counting stats are better. So yes you would take a 771 OPS to a 818 OPS, which is just insane and makes no sense.
You saying you will take carter because of what he did in the playoffs is actually a real correct arguement. Because during the regular season across their entire careers zim was the better hitter
Go take Carters 7 best seasons and put them next to Zimmermans 7 best. It ain’t even close
You are right lol. Its not close.
Full seasons only
Carters best 5 OPS - 849, 841, 833, 808, 802
Zim- 930, 899, 888, 824, 824
You were correct. It wasnt close. This dude you love so much never saw a OPS above 850 for a full season.
Dude there is more to a player stat then OPS get off the OPS [censored] already, How many WS did the A's win building teams around OPS? 0 again 0 and again 0 every year since Money Ball Model arrived
OPS is what everyone is using lmao. It shows how often you are in base and how often you slug. Its literally the best stat to show how good a hitter is. And joe effing carter never once OPSed over 850.
Bro. Go look at the last 5 world series winners and where they ranked in OPS. Im not sure why you just used a team with zero budget to prove a point lmao.
The Astros Tank one of those WS by cheating and it is possible so did the RedSox
besides the point. Nats were sixth last year .houston was first. The year before. Boston was first, dodgers were third. 2017 -astros first. 2016- cubs third indians 5th.
Turns out the best teams have the best OPS! how crazy is it that the best teams get on base and hit for power!!!! CRAZYYYYYYY
Im genuinely curious as to who you think is the best hitter of all time, no argument, just wondering you think it is
Modern era would be Barry bonds and Mike trout
Nah I’m not talking era, best of all time
Barry bonds or mike trout.
Neither one of those guys ever hit over .400
Uh so lmao?
You said hitter the best hitters ever so year the best are who over .400. The best hitter in the last 40 years I would say Tony Gywnn
You would rather have tony gwynn on your team than barry bonds hahahahahaha. Who gives a flying [censored] about 400. That does not mean literally anything. If you would take tony gwynn over trout or bonds then you are just a [censored] dude.
That was not the question!!!!!!!!
Who is the best slap hitter ever also was not the question. If you were a manager would you rather have bonds or tony at the dish. Pretty simple.
But Gwynn has a better batting average and got more hits so he is the better hitter.
Yeah man tony gwynn is a better hitter than barry bonds. Can you please take your liberal self somewhere and inject mass amounts of heroin into your arm? Im tired of seeing you respond to me. It gets more retarded every comment and im over it. You are borderline obsessed with me and its weird.
Lol... I feel bad now. You are so dumb you are unable to tell when someone is screwing with you and is using your bad argument against you.

@GrandpaShaft still waiting on that best hitter of all time dude
Bro i responded weirdo. Mike trout. Barry bonds. Take your pick. One of them. If I was a GM and had a choice of every hitter to ever play Id choose one of them.
Actually you said modern era so sorry for asking about all time.
Odd you didn’t pick Babe Ruth who leads in both OPS and WAR though, kinda weird to base your whole argument on Joe Carter on stats you don’t base your best hitter all time on -

I would not take Bonds I would take Ty Cobb
Ok then you are just dumb. Which was established when you started defending Mr 18 WAR like he was babe ruth.
So any one who does not agree with your Trolling [censored] is dumb,retarded or a moron, am I missing any lol -

Odd you didn’t pick Babe Ruth who leads in both OPS and WAR though, kinda weird to base your whole argument on Joe Carter on stats you don’t base your best hitter all time onSomeone who didnt play against black or spanish people is entirely irrelevant to everything. Bonds leads in both in the modern era. Try again.

Ok then you are just dumb. Which was established when you started defending Mr 18 WAR like he was babe ruth.
You thinking Bonds is better is like the recency bias people have when they say Lebron is better Jordan.
Btw this is a perfect example of media. The gap between Bonds and his peers or greats is easily equal to the gap between Jordan and any peer or great. Besides the roids thing. The media hated Bonds and he never had a huge sponsorship as a by product. People didn’t like him. So there was never a narrative about him being the greatest. And if you think that was because of roids your crazy because people loved Sammy and Mac and everyone knew what was up. It was only until heated players like Clemens and bonds got in on it.

Go look at Zimmerman and Neil Walkers Accomplishments and then Go look at Joe Carters careers. Look at the MVP voting, the AS appearances the awards over a career mean nothing you you people who only believe that a players career is solely based of War which is based on a formula and not how a player actually played.
You dont know how to use this site. You arent responding to anyone. Anyways nobody is basing anything off war. Carter wasnt thay great outside of war. Zimmerman has a better OPS.
Again what has Zimmerman done, How many AS games how many top 10 or 20 MVP voting. You really think Ryan Zimmerman was a better player cause WAR tells you that. This is laughable
Is everyone on this site just brain dead? Can you read dude? For now the second time Zimmerman has a better career OPS.......thats not WAR. Thats a traditional stat. It is laughable that you cant read or use google
When you will get it that comparing Zimmerman to Carter proved my point that WAR is overrated.
I hope you are just trolling at this point. Ryan zimmerman is the better player by traditional stats as well, as I have pointed out many times now
Not even close at all, Accomplishments will show that.
Dude. You are slow. Are you really going to use all star appearances as a measure to who is better? Is starlin castro better than kris bryant?
Since WAR is to much for your brain lets use traditional stats.
BA - Ryan
OBP- ryan
Slugging - ryanThe dude has a better Batting average, on base and slugging. What even is the argument anymore? Ryan zimmerman is the better player and its not just WAR that tells us that. You didnt do very well in school did you?
Can you ever even make something resembling an argument that Ryan Zimmerman:
- Received any real MVP consideration in any year?
- Meant much of anything to a team that won anything?
- Would be considered anywhere close to the best player at his position in the NL, or top 2-3 in the MLB?
- Having to be reliant on biased writers really shouldn't be a metric anyone values. Again, see 1995 where Mo Vaughn won the MVP because he played in Boston and was a nice man, and Albert Belle was a meanie bobeanie, and Edgar Martinez played for a city we aren't even sure exists. Also, Zimmerman got MVP votes in 4 different seasons
- You can NOT knock Zimmerman for playing his prime seasons for bad teams when measuring individual skill. And before someone says it, I was not knocking Juan Gonzalez for being a Ranger in the mid-late 90s, I was stating how that inflated his RBI numbers and that led to two MVP awards.
- There were years where he was in the discussion for third best, behind two arguable top 5 all time 3B in A-Rod and Chipper Jones. It's a bit unfair to say he has to be in the discussion for the best at his position when he's roadblocked by two of the best to ever play the position. You wouldn't knock Alan Trammel for playing the same position at the same time as Ozzie Smith, Cal Ripken, and Robin Yount, would you?
- Mo Vaughn did not win the MVP in 1995 because of bias, he won it because there's a very strong argument he deserved it. Did Belle have a better year? Yep. But Mo Vaughn CARRIED a team where the next best player was John f'ing Valentin that year. Belle batted in the middle of the greatest lineup I've ever seen and I'll never forget (Lofton, Vizquel, Baerga, Belle, Murray, Thome, Ramirez, Sorrento, Alomar Jr). Yes Manny Ramirez batted 7th this team was so good. The argument is if you remove Mo Vaughn and replace him with a replacement player the Red Sox are sunk. Do the same for Belle, and the Indians are still in the World Series that year. They were that good.
- Juan Gonzalez got tons of RBIs because he was an incredible hitter. As a Sox fan I can't tell you how many times Frank Thomas stubbornly took a walk, then the guy behind him rolled into a DP. There is such a thing for having a knack for getting the job done. He did not have better hitters in front of him than Frank Thomas, Albert Belle, Ken Griffey Jr, or Rafael Palmeiro did in those years...but he sure had more RBIs. Miguel Cabrera and Manny Ramirez (though Manny was in better positions) also come to mind.
- The point is context matters. Compared to HIS PEERS, Joe Carter was considered a great player. Ryan Zimmerman is not.
Stating that Mo deserved it because his team stunk is not at all indicative to what player value is. At the end of the day, Mo Vaughn was, at best, the third best bat in the American League, and even that is a stretch. Here's 5 players from the 1995 Season, both traditional and advanced stats (Bold indicates League Leader)
A : 752 PA, 207 H, 28 2B, 3 3B, 39 HR, 126 RBI, 150 K, 68 BB, .300/.388/.575/.963, 144 OPS+, 139 wRC+
B : 631 PA, 173 H, 52 2B, 1 3B, 50 HR, 126 RBI, 80 K, 73 BB, .317/.401/.690/1.091, 177 OPS+, 173 wRC+
C : 639 PA, 182 H, 52 2B, 0 3B, 29 HR, 113 RBI, 87 K, 116 BB, .356/.479/.628/1.107, 185 OPS+, 182 wRC+
D : 638 PA, 177 H, 34 2B, 3 3B, 34 HR, 105 RBI, 111K, 91 BB, .330/.429/.594/.1.024, 165 OPS+, 163 wRC+
E : 647 PA, 152 H, 27 2B, 0 3B, 40 HR, 111 RBI, 74 K, 136 BB , .308/.454/.606/1.061, 179 OPS+, 168 wRC+Looking at that, who would you say had the biggest impact as a hitter?
#3 Edgar Martinez. But more goes into the MVP than simply looking at how good his individual season was. First of all Edgar didn't have to play defense. That matters. Second, the Mariners were 7 games worse than the Red Sox that year. Third the Mariners had a lot more around Edgar. Tino Martinez and Jay Buhner were better than every player, other than Mo, on the Red Sox. They got Griffey back the back half of the year, and they had Randy Johnson.
That's where those 126 RBi come in...
The team around you plays no role in how valuable a player is. Edgar without a glove was more valuable than Mo Vaughn with a glove. Edgar had the misfortune of playing in an era where being on an irrelevant team was a death sentence unless your name was Ken Griffey Jr. If you put that Edgar with the exact same numbers in Baltimore, he wins the MVP in a blowout. Mike Trout would have a hard time winning MVPs in the 90s because of just how useless and unknown the Angels were. Tim Salmon had a fantastic career, better than some Hall of Famers, yet never even made it to an All Star game!
It absolutely matters. Here's why:
In 1995 the Indians were 14 games better than every team in the AL. Albert Belle could have fallen off a cliff, and replaced with the 14 yr old version of me, and the Indians still get the #1 seed in the AL. How is that not value? This is why Michael Jordan didn't win the MVP EVERY YEAR.
And an irrelevant team? The Mariners were an exceptionally popular team in the 90's. They were the most charismatic team in the whole league and the media loved them. They had Griffey, they had Randy Johnson, they had A-Rod, Jay Buhner, they even had Sweet Lou. To say playing for Seattle after Griffey got there is toiling in obscurity is crazy.
Having a good team around you has minimal factor into individual performance. Belle would've been a more valuable player than Vaughn had the Indians won any amount of games.
As for Michael Jordan not winning the MVP every year? That's called the Hedonic Treadmill. when a player is so great for so long, the greatness seems normal. It even happens to Mike Trout. It would've happened to barry bonds had he not read the book "What they don't teach you at Harvard School of Business" after the 2000 Season.
And yes, the Mariners were nationally irrelevant. Everyone knew Griffey, Seattle knew Edgar. this is especially stronger before "The Double". Griffey was far bigger than the Mariners and it wasn't even funny. This was the same for teams like the Royals as well. Everybody remembers George Brett, but who remembers Charlie Liebrandt outside of Missouri?

Actually you said modern era so sorry for asking about all time.
Odd you didn’t pick Babe Ruth who leads in both OPS and WAR though, kinda weird to base your whole argument on Joe Carter on stats you don’t base your best hitter all time onSomeone who didnt play against black or spanish people is entirely irrelevant to everything. Bonds leads in both in the modern era. Try again.
Bonds spent 8-10 years roiding up to get those numbers try again.
Bonds was a first ballot HOF before roids. He was in the argument for best ever before roids. After roids he made things comical. He made hitting a baseball look easy

Actually dude has been pretty clear what he's getting at, and you're too slow to hear it. Here's the point:
I think people remember Joe Carter as fondly as they do because of context. Think about it this way:
-
He was the cleanup hitter on back-to-back champion Jays teams.
-
He was the best RF in the American League at the time. Canseco was better, but not by 92-93 thanks to injuries, Winfield was a DH now, and nobody else was close. The NL the only one clearly better was Tony Gwynn. Could make an argument for a young Larry Walker/Dave Justice, but they were really young at the time.
-
Also remember he came up big in the WS for the Blue Jays. He had 11 RBI in 12 WS games those 2 years, including the walkoff homer that won the '93 series.
Put into context, people watching baseball between 1985-1995 thought Joe Carter was a great player. Not sure-fire HOF material, but borderline.
Can you ever even make something resembling an argument that Ryan Zimmerman:
- Received any real MVP consideration in any year?
- Meant much of anything to a team that won anything?
- Would be considered anywhere close to the best player at his position in the NL, or top 2-3 in the MLB?
The Jays, who were already good, traded away Fred McGriff and Tony Fernandez (McGriff was great, and Fernandez was a good hitter, really fast, and an elite SS), in their primes, to get Joe Carter. That says a lot for how the MLB viewed that player in 1990. Zimmerman has always been viewed as a good player, but not a difference maker. Joe Carter was. No context when you just look at numbers of players who played 25 years apart.
Id like you to send me the people who thought a 306 on base was borderline HOF.
I can make a resembling argument that Zimmerman was a significantly better hitter by all metrics. The OPS isnt all that close. And yes Zim was 100% considered a top tier third baseman in his prime.
We are sitting here arguing about a 770 ops hitter. Just because he played on good teams and hit a cool home run makes him better than someone who is clearly better by all metrics AND traditional stats. Better average on base and slugging. And some arent even close. Thats Weird.
I actually agree with most of what you said, I just disagree in my opinion Carter was better, We just look at the stats differently and the 306 is not much lower than Zimmermans 343. I will take the 400 plus 300 plus HR the less K rate per plate appearance and Carters 771 to Zimmerman's 818 not much of a difference and over 200 more Rs, almost 200 more SB. SlG is very close, Zimmerman had more BB. I do not think Carter is a HOF. I do think what puts him there is the WS and playoff performances.
Bruh. A 306 to a 343 on base is HUGEEEEE. Once again he had 2000 more ABs. Thats why his counting stats are better. So yes you would take a 771 OPS to a 818 OPS, which is just insane and makes no sense.
You saying you will take carter because of what he did in the playoffs is actually a real correct arguement. Because during the regular season across their entire careers zim was the better hitter
Go take Carters 7 best seasons and put them next to Zimmermans 7 best. It ain’t even close
You are right lol. Its not close.
Full seasons only
Carters best 5 OPS - 849, 841, 833, 808, 802
Zim- 930, 899, 888, 824, 824
You were correct. It wasnt close. This dude you love so much never saw a OPS above 850 for a full season.
Dude there is more to a player stat then OPS get off the OPS [censored] already, How many WS did the A's win building teams around OPS? 0 again 0 and again 0 every year since Money Ball Model arrived
OPS is what everyone is using lmao. It shows how often you are in base and how often you slug. Its literally the best stat to show how good a hitter is. And joe effing carter never once OPSed over 850.
Bro. Go look at the last 5 world series winners and where they ranked in OPS. Im not sure why you just used a team with zero budget to prove a point lmao.
The Astros Tank one of those WS by cheating and it is possible so did the RedSox
besides the point. Nats were sixth last year .houston was first. The year before. Boston was first, dodgers were third. 2017 -astros first. 2016- cubs third indians 5th.
Turns out the best teams have the best OPS! how crazy is it that the best teams get on base and hit for power!!!! CRAZYYYYYYY
Im genuinely curious as to who you think is the best hitter of all time, no argument, just wondering you think it is
Modern era would be Barry bonds and Mike trout
Nah I’m not talking era, best of all time
Barry bonds or mike trout.
Neither one of those guys ever hit over .400
Uh so lmao?
You said hitter the best hitters ever so year the best are who over .400. The best hitter in the last 40 years I would say Tony Gywnn
You would rather have tony gwynn on your team than barry bonds hahahahahaha. Who gives a flying [censored] about 400. That does not mean literally anything. If you would take tony gwynn over trout or bonds then you are just a [censored] dude.
That was not the question!!!!!!!!
Who is the best slap hitter ever also was not the question. If you were a manager would you rather have bonds or tony at the dish. Pretty simple.
This logic right here also applies to Carter and Zimmerman.
Ask 30 managers which one they would rather have at the dish in a WS game.
Asking who you would take for an entire career is not the same as who you would take in one single game. And for either question its barry bonds. Also the fact that I even have an argument zim is better shows how dumb it is to converse over joe freaking carter.
I would not take Bonds I would take Ty Cobb
Ok then you are just dumb. Which was established when you started defending Mr 18 WAR like he was babe ruth.
You thinking Bonds is better is like the recency bias people have when they say Lebron is better Jordan.
Btw this is a perfect example of media. The gap between Bonds and his peers or greats is easily equal to the gap between Jordan and any peer or great. Besides the roids thing. The media hated Bonds and he never had a huge sponsorship as a by product. People didn’t like him. So there was never a narrative about him being the greatest. And if you think that was because of roids your crazy because people loved Sammy and Mac and everyone knew what was up. It was only until heated players like Clemens and bonds got in on it.
Comparing bonds to ruth is not even in the same galaxy as comparing jordan to lebron. Lebron and Mikes careers almost overlapped. Ruth played when black people couldnt even play yet. Not the same thing.
This is not a perfect example to what you were trying to get at with the whole nike and media brainwashed us thing. Not at all. But if that wasnt your point I somewhat agree. Even though now bonds is widely considered the best hitter ever by most.

Yes. But you don't get to say Ruth's greatness doesn't count, but build up the greatness of the most notorious steroid abuser of them all at the same time. Bonds wasn't among the 10 best hitters ever before 2000, after which point the cream and the clear did their thing, and he traded in the completeness of his game to become the greatest hitter of all time.

Never said “it didnt count”
Bonds very well could of been considered a top 10 hitter before he started juicing. Most think he started juicing in 99. Before 99 he had 3 MVPs and OPSed above 1000 7 times. Thats um pretty good.
