June 22, 201213 yr Top 10 hitters: Frank Thomas Luke Appling Eddie Collins Nellie Fox Minnie Minoso Paul Konerko Carlton Fisk Robin Ventura Harold Baines Magglio Ordonez Top 10 pitchers: Ed Walsh Ted Lyons Red Faber Mark Buehrle Billy Pierce Wilbur Wood Bobby Thigpen Ed Cicotte Joe Horlen Jack McDowell I always have a hard time slotting the two groups in together. I'm pretty sure I'd put Frank overall #1, but don't know where I'd go from there.
June 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 01:24 PM) On Espn Chicago...this is hard. Going with Frank first. Top 50 Sox That's the only correct answer.

June 22, 201213 yr Wow. Looking at the results, the people who are voting don't seem to have a clue. Frank #6? Ed Walsh #48? I mean the man only has the lowest career E.R.A. in baseball history. Eddie Collins #25? I put my top 5 as Thomas, Jackson, Collins, Walsh, Appling.
June 22, 201213 yr Author So far konerko is Number 1. After Frank I went with Shoeless Joe and then Fisk. After that I struggled and gave up.
June 22, 201213 yr Frank Appling Minoso Fox Fisk Shoeless Ventura Wood Lyons Walsh Luzinski Aparicio Konerko Baines Ozzie Magglio Buehrle Black jack
June 22, 201213 yr I've always felt that people don't appreciate Collins near as much as they should. He was not only one of the great White Sox, but one of the greatest players, period.

QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 02:58 PM) So far konerko is Number 1. Are the voters all under 20 years old or something?
June 22, 201213 yr My top 5: 1.Frank Thomas 2.Paul Konerko 3.Mark Buehrle 4.Luke Appling 5.Ted Lyons Buehrle's ranked so high only because I grew up with him in a Sox uniform and he's my favorite pitcher. I guess "my generation's" Billy Pierce.
June 22, 201213 yr List is a joke............Belle before Baines................Hall of Fame guys way behind guys with 2 good years total.
June 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 07:46 PM) There's a Jim Scott conspiracy going on with that list. Seriously, how the f*** does he lead in #1 votes. My list: The lower it got though, the less ranking became clear 1.Frank Thomas 2.Ed Walsh 3.Paul Konerko 4.Mark Buehrle 5.Eddie Collins 6.Nellie Fox 7.Luis Aparicio 8.Ted Lyons 9.Billy Pierce 10.Carlton Fisk 11.Minnie Minoso 12.Joe Jackson 13.Luke Appling 14.Harold Baines 15.Ozzie Guillen 16.Red Faber 17.Robin Ventura 18.Dick Allen 19.Eddie Cicotte 20.Wilbur Wood 21.A.J.

June 23, 201213 yr It's hard to do a Sox list cause a lot of the old timers are in the Hall of Fame and it's hard to vote for people I never saw play.
June 24, 201213 yr I don't see how you can not put Billy Pierce at least in the top 10, let alone off the list, or have Luke Appling as low as number 13. This is just going to be a popular contest for Sox players in the last generation or 2. QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 08:12 PM) I've always felt that people don't appreciate Collins near as much as they should. He was not only one of the great White Sox, but one of the greatest players, period. Very true.
