Your Blue Jays Mount Rushmore

[Krylian]

Alomar was only here for 5 years, and was really only above average for three of them. Matt Chapman's run in Oakland was about the same caliber as Alomar's run here, and nobody will remember Champan's time in Oakland 20-30 years from now. Bo and Vladdy will easily end up having more impressive Blue Jay careers.

 

Entirely possible.

 

Chapman would be a legend if he had won two WS titles in Oakland.

It would be wonderful if in a few seasons both Bo and Vladdy force their way onto Mt. Rushmore.

One career ending injury, the other bolts at the first opportunity. Thanks a lot for jinxing it, *******.

The thing that mitigates Alomar only being with the team for 5 years is that he bounced around so much that the Jays ended up becoming his main team. He's the only guy in the HoF with a Jays cap and was a key cog in back-to-back WS titles. And let's face it, it's not like he's facing a ton of competition.

As an aside, I know the situation with Halladay. But outside of members of this board, some Phillies fans and people who visited Cooperstown in the last two weeks, absolutely every baseball fan who cares enough about the sport to think about these things is going to believe or assume Halladay is in as a Jay. It's the Mandela Effect in our favour. He's ours, let's just claim him. The internet has shown that what people believe or think is true is far more prevalent than the actual truth.

Man are these ever well done.

 

Apparently Stieb is ENJOYING it as well. His daughter replied to a Tweet that was asking if Stieb or any of his family have watched the documentary.

Why should Alomar be ahead of Olerud?

 

91-95 Olerud 19 fWAR, Alomar 20

 

but...

 

Olerud more fwar per 162 (because Cito is a moron and platooned him)

 

Olerud played 2 extra years for Jays

 

Olerud 57 career fWAR... Alomar 63, but Alomar played 1 extra season and never got platooned.

 

Olerud not banned from level of excellence.

 

Olerud not on level of excellence because Cito is an ******* who messed with his career. (platoon 'pull dat ball')

[Olerud363]

John Olerud 9063 plate appearances 57 fWARs

Roberto Alomar 10400 plate appearances 63 fWARs

 

Blue Jays Message Board question of the day. Which Blue Jay has more fWAR per plate appearance? John Olerud or Roberto Alomar?

 

Blue Jays Message Board question of the day 2. Top 5 all time position player fWAR. Position player must have been drafted or signed by Toronto Blue Jays.

1 - Olerud roughly by .000000000003 WAR... 2 - Barry Bonds

Top Blue Jays draft picks according to fWAR

 

1. Hallady 65

2. Olerud 57

3. Kent 56

4. Stieb 45

 

Something like that I think

[Olerud363]

Stieb, Halladay, Olerud, Devon White

 

Tony Fernandez close, bad baserunner. Worse base-runner I've seen stats scouting.

 

Also remember him being real bad when I real-scouted him when I was 11. Problem was he was crazy. One year he had 17 triples but I think got caught at 3rd 20 times. lol. Probably not that much but I remember it being bad.

Oh, you mislead me, top 5 fWAR of Jays picks.

[Olerud363]

Top fWAR of Jays picks. Olerud and Kent had similar career paths, struggling to get full time play for a few years.
