Keep us posted on this potential juggernaut. Of course, injuries can always strike, but that's arguably the 4th best catcher in the entire history of baseball (behind Bench, Carter, Fisk), the 4th best 2B ever (behind Hornsby, Collins, Lajoie), the 3rd best 3B ever (behind Schmidt, Mathews), and the 2nd best CF ever (behind Mays). At the very worst they're each in the top 5 at their respective positions. Holy crap! That team should romp to the title, but there's always injuries and down years.  |
Cleveland won their second straight World Series and have now won 5 of the last 7. Morgan spent the majority of the season on the DL, playing in only 30 games. Cobb hit .374, but dealt with injuries as well. He played in 117 games, missing the last 2+ weeks of the season and the entire World Series. Boggs hit .330. Ivan Rodriguez flirted with .400 all season, but slumped in September falling to .390. His first batting title. You asked about their shortstop, it's Bucky Dent.
