Best Athlete on the Cards?

[Radio_Bugtussle]

I see Gibby as a strong safety type in football. Or a bump and run CB.

For the 3 on 3 thing.... Rolen, Wainright and C.Duncan.

I don't see the Duncan/basketball thing. Big yes, coordinated no. Clankers and balls dribbled off his foot and fouling out in the 1st quarter is what I see.

If its 3 other guys I need to back me in a street fight: Benny (ya know hes had a few brawls), The Deacon (he just has a look like, Im a bad MF) and Little Duncan..ya know hes scrappy like his pops.


If we are playing 7 on 7 flag football: Jimmy, Rolen, Wilson, ECK, Mulder, TJ, and Skip.

If I can throw in some "farm hands" I'd say Ankiel and Rasmus.

I know AP is the best baseball player since Ted WIlliams. However, I just dont see him as a great all around athlete. To be a big leaguer, you have to be a good athlete (then again, David Wells doesnt strike me as an athlete), but not all around. The debate was, who could play other stuff and succeed.

How did this thread go from best athlete to most devastating ultimate fighter?

I disagree here. Baseball IMO is the 1 sport where you don't have to be a good athlete to be successful (John Kruk, and Cecil Fielder come to mind). Baseball is a skill game more than any other sport . Being a great all around athlete certainly improves your chances to be a good baseball player but is not a prerequisite. You can possess the greatest athletic ability in the world and still not be able to hit a major league average fastball. Michael Jordan proved that!

Imagine the fallout if Eckstein did this:

I would laugh myself to death.

I heard David Eckstein was going to try out for the Olympic pole vault team but they wouldnt let him use his own stick.
