WADE BOGGS: If i had to pick any hitter in a close game with a runner on 3rd...

[Blackout]

"Ichiro"

discuss.

[C-Mart28]

He is probably the best hitter in all of baseball, so the odds of him gettin a hit alone would lean one's opinion in that direction.

I'd agree I'd rather have him up there than most major leaguers

All around best? Not so sure.

[Blackout]

albert pujols has the SAME batting average

much more power for the same average and Pujols doesn't strike out like other HR hitters.

why not take Hanley?

Whats a close game, a run two runs,tie game? how many outs? Who is on third? Speed or no speed? All these are questions that need to be answered in different situations.
