I want to be a 5 tool player meaning I want to learn to hit, hit for power, field, run, and have a good throwing arm. The answer that satisfies all five tools wins.

Carlos Beltran asked:

Seems now a days most guys are one dimensional and specialize in one tool..But cant combine great power,high batting average,play great defense and run like the wind and have a cannon arm..
(Maybe Hanley Ramirez but Pujols is a turtle on the bases..)
Back in the old days there was Mantle and Mays..
So which of these was a better 5 tool player?
BTW i have no idea why Mick never stole bases considering Yogi Berra said he ran like a horse…

Dave asked:

What you you folks think about having a lineup like this?? All these guys can hit for average, hit for power, and can steal a base anytime… these are all based on 2007 stats.

1B: Derrick Lee (CHC) .317 BA, 22 HR, 82 RBI, 7 SB

2B: Brandon Phillips (CIN) .288 BA, 30 HR, 94 RBI, 32 SB

SS: Jimmy Rollins (PHI) .296 BA, 30 HR, 94 RBI, 41 SB

3B: Alex Rodriguez (NYY) .314 BA, 54 HR, 156 RBI, 24 SB

OF: Eric Byrnes (ARZ) .286 BA, 21 HR, 83 RBI, 50 SB

OF: Grady Sizemore (CLE) .277 BA, 24 HR, 78 RBI, 33 SB

OF: Curtis Granderson (DET) .302 BA, 23 HR, 74 RBI, 26 SB

C: Russell Martin (LAD) .293 BA, 19 HR, 87 RBI, 21 SB

Bench: Ian Kinsler (TEX) .263 BA, 20 HR, 61 RBI, 23 SB
Bench: BJ Upton (TAM) .300 BA, 24 HR, 82 RBI, 22 SB
Bench: David Wright (NYM) .325 BA, 30 HR, 107 RBI, 34 SB
Bench: Corey Hart (MIL) .295 BA, 24 HR, 81 RBI, 23 SB

Give me your best five-tool team and I’ll choose the best one…
Hey Eric… you don’t think that a .288 batting average is good?? You’re an idiot.
Sorry… I meant Jeff
chrisguy… I totally forgot about H-Ram!! He was on my list that I had and meant to put him at SS and Rollins on the bench!! DOH!
Jake K… Ellsbury I don’t think can be a 30HR threat… 15, maybe even 20 yes… but definitely not 30.
