That's who I voted for too but really, just going by the stats, Klein is way better than Rollins and Utley. A .320 average and 300 HRs? They don't make 'em like that anymore. But he died 25 years before I was born so I can't be bothered to vote for him.

Not gonna pretend to know a lot about Klein. When in doubt, go to baseball reference.
Utley is already at 228 HRs. Figure he has a decent shot to get to 300.
Klein career WAR - 43.6 Utley career WAR - 61.5 Rollins career WAR - 45.7
and for comedy sake...
Howard career WAR - 17.9. haha
Ashburn was at 63.4, which surprised me. Looks like he has a much better case than Klein.
Sadly, this debate may be the highlight of the 2015 season. Unless of course Amaro gets fired
I read today that the phillies were the LAST team to employ analytics.....is that cuz you had Uncle Cholly at the helm?

Schmidt, Ultey, and Carlton are no brainers. The fourth spot is debatable. I think rollins was actually underrated and underappreciated during his time here so that's who I'm sticking with.
Klein won the NL home run title in 1929, his first full year in the majors. However, he was helped along by his teammates on the last day of the season. In this game, the Phillies faced the New York Giants. The Giants' star slugger, Mel Ott, was tied with Klein for the lead with 42. In the first game, Klein homered to put him one ahead of Ott, who was held to a single. In the second game, the Phillies' pitchers walked Ott five straight times, including once with the bases loaded.
haha....what? can you imagine that happening nowadays?

"Stephen A, you know in your heart of hearts that this is a DISGRACE what the Phillies did to Ott! It's borderline CRIMINAL for Klein to walk around calling himself the league leader in homeruns!"
"Skip, I'm not disagreeing with you but at the same time, aren't intentional walks A PART OF BASEBALL? Pitchers used to walk Barry Bonds with nobody on base. Mel Ott is a BAD man. I wouldn't want any part of him. Would you??"

I really don't watch any of the sports channels anymore. Watch tons of games and sometimes I will watch MLB Network. I despise ESPN...I hear the sportscenter music and instinctively reach for the remote. The channel cannot get changed quickly enough once that garbage comes on

as for ESPN does anyone like them showing the strike zone on the baseball broadcasts. Flipped it on the other night and it's annoying as hell to me. puts your focus too much on that part of the screen. not a fan of it.
espn is good for live games and that's pretty much it. I guess PTI isn't bad but the rest is utter crap.
