I was literally born watching baseball. Literally. I had season tickets to the Giants from the time I was born till I was 11, I've been to more live baseball games than you've watched on tv. Top 30's exaggerating, but I can definitely give you 20 position players I'd rather have on my team.
Albert Pujols
Curtis Granderson
Robinson Cano
Josh Hamilton
Jose Bautista
Adrian Gonzalez
Mark Teixeira (Martinez's bat is a little stronger but Dat Glove)
Miguel Cabrera
Ryan Braun (I don't give a shit about PEDs, you can exclude him if you want)
Tulo
Matt Kemp
Prince
Jacoby Ellsbury
Joey Votto
Paul Konerko
Adrian Beltre
Nelson Cruz
Ian Kinsler
Jose Reyes
Evan Longoria
All of those guys are better hitters than Martinez and most of them play better defense. Martinez is clutch, but his power isn't A-level and he doesn't draw enough walks. He doesn't strike out though. That's worth something.
The FACT is that you're an ignorant homer and I've forgotten more about this sport than you can ever dream of knowing.Last edited by BigStereotype; 01-24-2012, 05:05 PM.

at half your list. Mark Texeria! Did he even clip the mendoza line? Of those guys you listed the only ones that hit better is Pujols, Cano, Hamilton, Gonzalez, Cabby, and maybe Reyes. Hitting home runs doesn't make you a better hitter. No one in the world would agree that Prince Fielder is a better hitter than Victor Martinez.

I watch pretty much every game since I was born and seeing that I'm 6 years older than you I guess you haven't gone to more game or even seen more than games than I have. Anyways, thats petty ****.

Nelson Cruz looked great in that "potent" Rangers offense yet hit 70 points behind Victor and put up far less rbis. Kinsler and his 250 avg. Yeah, just because you hit in a bandbox doesn't make you a good hitter. Martinez would be the second best hitter on the Rangers, absolutely no debate about it.
