Bottom of the 9th, RISP, down by 1....who do you want up there?

[Moose Milligan]

Like the other thread, past and present day.

Present day, it'd be awfully hard to choose against Manny or Ortiz. I can't really think of anyone else I'd rather have up with the game on the line like that.

Historical, I'm not sure. I know Eddie will probably get a lot of mention on here, though.

I know people think of Tony Perez as an all time clutch hitter too.

Maybe DiMaggio.

[DrungoHazewood]

A good hitter.

[Mackus]

Luis Hernandez

[MikeAD]

Luis Hernandez

Well only if he gets to wear that sweet, slick fielding glove on his left hand while he swings.

[Tank]

Now: Albert Pujols

Ever: Ted Williams

[Spoonless]

Luis Hernandez

No way... Paul Bako is the correct answer here.

[DrungoHazewood]

No way... Paul Bako is the correct answer here.

Nah, Bako's proven he can't hit major league pitching. Hernandez still has hope of being one of those guys for whom a .600 AA OPS translates to a .900 major league OPS.

Right now it would be hard to pick against Ortiz or Manny. You are right, they are seeing the ball at an unreal level.

I wouldn't mind seeing Matt Holliday up right now either.

Eddie Murray, Tony Gwynn, or......wait for it.....wait for it....

Derek Jeter

How long before someone brings up the double plays last week? 10 seconds, 20 seconds??
