Wonder if this thread can last long enough to see Arod crowned the HR king and GOAT of baseball

I'm saying that players should know and play all of the core aspects of baseball that we learn when we grow up. This isn't like asking a QB to play LB, this is simply giving guys a pass on what other players can't just pass up. It hurts the game of baseball at all levels.


These guys didn't get drafted to be major league hitters. A team would sign them to pitch even if they hit like a 90 year old, even in the NL. You know that.
Why not make all the hitters pitch then? Why'd Rick Ankiel get to stop pitching and only hit?

A lot of NFL players played 2 ways when they were in high school. Does that mean they should play both those positions in the NFL?
A 6 ft 6 guard might have played power forward or center in high school. Does that mean he should take jump balls.

LOL. Thats not even a question. This is one of the greatest threads in baseball forum history.
Right up there with the xtranormal videos (may they RIP) and WIS.

I also imagine that having pitchers hit increases injury rate. I like the idea of having these players play both ways, but especially by the end of the game, I'm sure a lot of pitchers are exhausted. Yes, fielders play both ways for an entire game, but none of them are chucking out 100+ pitches a night.

Been our best offensive player this season which is saying something (Granted Jacoby would have that crown all-around with the things he can do on the base path) but he's been battling injuries.
.386 OBP is looking nice. Glad he's having fun again and saying all of the right things this season.

Teix and McCann have been solid as hell so far but I like Alex's approach better and he's drawing more walks so far this season.
