BP's Reds Top 11 Prospects

that leaves ruth, gehrig (x2), hornsby, foxx, greenberg, musial, and gonzo. that is a pretty good list of the greatest sluggers the game has ever seen.

also, i find it interesting that ruth was the first one to do it (no surprise), but he did it in 1921, pretty early in his career. not only did he never repeat, but his 119 is still the record, and only gehrig (117) has even come close. nobody else has more than 103 (107 if you include roids- and park-enhanced seasons).

and if you're not bright enough to recognize what i did with the community poll, you're probably not bright enough to realize that the real fun in building a team isn't from winning a championship, the real fun comes from building up a perennial 100 loss team (which my team was from 2004-2006) into a ~.500 team (which i was in 2007), into a 82+ win team (which i will be in 2008), and finally, into a championship contender (which is the projection for 2009).

you'd have no way of knowing that my team lost 100 games in the two season prior to my arriving.  nor would you have any idea that my predecessor traded away draft picks like candy.  but i wouldn't expect a troll to have much in the way of distinguishing ability.  nor would i expect a troll to maybe, you know, do a little poking around before declaring a roster as having "the worst collection of position players I've ever seen from somebody who actually felt their roster was pimp worthy."

the fact is, regardless of who you were, who you are now is someone that abuses the community and takes from it without giving back.  you've added nothing of value, and while this incarnation might only be passive aggressive, i'm sure you'll start showing your true colors soon enough.
