    I will also be doing one of these from Mike Mussina. Like Larkin, he doesn't have the "round" numbers like 300 wins, or 3,000 strikeouts. But Moose was an extremely consistent pitcher, pitched well when he was in the playoffs, adjusted well in his later career and was an excellent fielding pitcher. The one thing that is going to go against Mussina is that his contemporaries- Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson specifically- had dominant peaks.

        Good shit W2B, Larkin is one of my fav all time players I loved watching him play while I was growing up. It's a shame he had to wait, but the day is coming soon enough when he finally gets the respect he deserves

          yeah my favorite player from 1990 until he retired. I have a cheap ass Larkin Jersey I still wear from time to time. It also helps that we have the same first name.. lol.

                Bump.

                In my summary I had Larkin either 5 or 6 or 7 all time, depending how you rank him against Jeter (which really comes down to how much you punish Jeter for his defense) and Ripken (do you value the HR's, despite Larkin's overall OPS negating the huge HR edge?).

                My biggest gripe with the MLB list is Ozzie Smith. Way too high. I guess I can live with Ripken being so high, but I disagree.

                      I've been planning one of these for a while.
