Jamie Moyer

[ky54]

He does not count as he is no longer in MLB.



MotionMan

True, true, true... sad but true.

Go Rox!

I saw a stat the other day that Jamie Moyer has faced 8.9% of all MLB players ever to play the game. Thats pretty amazing.

This would make a fun thread:

Name the best player in MLB today who started in the bigs the year you graduated from high school:

My answer: Jamie Moyer



MotionMan

Mine would be Cliff Lee or Victor Martinez.

Mine would be Cliff Lee or Victor Martinez.

I have some good ones to choose from:

Tim Lincecum, Justin Upton, Ryan Braun, Jacoby Ellsbury, Joey Votto

Or... Daisuke Matsuzaka :hmm:

Chipper Jones, Mariano, or Jeter. Dam I'm old.

I also have some great choices: Cabrera, Teixeira, Reyes, Morneau.

Too bad it came at the expense of my Pads, but congrats to him.

Yep.

What was funny to me though was Mark Kotsay, who is career .583 (21-for-36) against him, gets a seeing eye single against Moyer and him shouting at Kotsay some friendly banter.

Albert Pujols. Well, that was easy.

Funny reading this thread and listening to the braves game when someone asks if he is a hall of famer. They say no, as do I. But riddle me this: Let's say he hangs around some way for four more years and wins 8 games a year for the next four. This puts him at 300 wins at 53. Now what do you do? Don't forget he just had Tommy John surgery two or three years ago and proved that you can come back from that at any age. HOFer with a 4.50 ERA? 250 losses? Pitching 100 years to win 300? That would be an interesting scenario. Of course he would be close to 60 when he became elegible.

If he makes it to 300, he's in, in my book. Longevity is celebrated in baseball, just look at Ripken's streak. Now Moyer isn't breaking any records, but he's a testament to longevity. Hell, who can even forget Julio Franco? If he had reached a HOF milestone such as 3,000 hits I'd vote for him just because teams always seemed to want him (even old as hell), just like Moyer.

Yup. Extreme outlier case, but I'd vote for him, simply for the singlularity of his "feat." There may well never be another pitcher who wins 300 games in his career. Think about that!

Look at it this way: he probably will not be alive for the veterans committee to vote him in.
