no bryant? bird?
:lists 65 players discussed in a 3 hour episode:
“yeah, but what about these 2???”
You guys are absolute crazy people with these marathon episodes. And I mean that in the most endearing way possible, it’s amazing.
all the more reason? what’s two more?
and…these guys are fairly important, no? bryant is arguably the top 3b and bird is in the middle of the best lineup in the league. just seemed like strange omissions!
not saying you did a bad job or anything, but this stood out. that’s all.
Just listen to the episode!
I just got a chance to listen to this one and I do have to agree on Bird. He is a pretty high profile player with a really wide range of results. If you could I would personally like to hear your thoughts on him. The injury history and the fact I think he is going to bat 6th or later limits his upside some and I’m not sure he can hit lefties. But I can understand people making the case for him being a top 15 player at the position or outside the top 25. He is one of the more interesting 1B out there and one of the more polarizing ones.
