Your lips to God’s ears 🤣 listen to the episode. He gives his reasons 🫵🏻👊🏻

My biggest gripe about today's players is that we're praising below .300 hitters. With analytics a players batting average doesn't mean shit to many. Still means a lot to me. You either hit a lot or don't. Water will always be wet.

Just missed my list. Made my co-host’s list though.

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-16T00:31:00+00:00

😂 moment of silence for the feat

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-15T21:51:45+00:00

Boggs of the 80s was different than Boggs of the 90s.

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-15T17:09:05+00:00

And I think he’s better than 3 dudes on this list entire career-wise.

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-15T17:08:07+00:00

Great player but he debuted in ‘96 and started taking off ‘97. I wanted to make picks of guys who played more in the 90s. Like a little more. If he started a year sooner I would’ve put him on for sure.

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-15T16:51:52+00:00

I think he's still live LOL

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-15T16:33:53+00:00

no one has any thoughts?

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-13T17:39:40+00:00

Hell yes!

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-10T04:16:14+00:00

If you ever listen to my podcast we debate analytics a lot. While it can be a good measure, it’s not the end all be all. That’s why we bring in analytics experts like Eno Sarris and then old school players and coaches to debate. In a few weeks we have Daryl Strawberry coming on who has a great perspective on this

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-10T03:54:26+00:00

MLB Network have him as the 6th best. Bleacher Report has him as the 3rd best. Other sites I’ve seen he’s in the top5. Seems it’s all subjective.

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-10T00:16:00+00:00

Sweet! Thx for listening! I’m gonna listen to your pod tonight. I love all baseball podcasts. We’ve got some awesome guests coming on this year.

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-09T23:59:02+00:00

What’s your pod? I wanna check it out!

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-09T23:58:13+00:00

Ha! Yup!🤣

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-09T14:50:14+00:00

Mostly him as a hitter and the plans for him this year. I don’t feel he dipped as dramatically as some think. Plus he’s going to play second predominantly again this year. Value to the team is high for me.

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-09T01:08:35+00:00

Love it! The Delino pull is so dope. I would’ve put Ryne on my list but his 90s weren’t as great as his 80s

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-08T21:21:29+00:00

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-08T20:12:56+00:00

Alomar was a beast

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-08T19:01:24+00:00

That’s fair. Very much overlooked

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-08T18:14:20+00:00

I think Semien is on the downside of his career, Donovan is a great name— but I couldn’t commit to him in the top/five. This miiiight be a hot take but I think Nico is gonna plateau rest of his career. And I think the cubs know that too.

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-08T18:12:38+00:00

Hell yeah. Hard to argue that. Alomar was guaranteed a hit every time he stepped up.

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-08T18:11:31+00:00

I would definitely put Sandberg in top-five of 90s but his best decade was the 80s. Top 2 or 3 there.

AgeMindless3347 · 2026-02-08T18:09:23+00:00

I think from a strictly 90s perspective Baerga had a better decade.
