As we continue our review of the best ever at each position in Majors history, I have a slightly controversial selection at 2B. This is an active player - who's power stats might not rise to the level of our 1B award winner, but who is clearly at 35, still at the top of his game. The selection at 2B is Chris Roberts, Oakland Athletics.

BEST EVER FIRST BASEMAN
This one is pretty clear. The best ever first baseman in Majors history is:

Rob Jacobs may be considered the best offensive player in Majors history. His stats are otherworldy:

.426 OBP: 2nd All-Time
2058 Runs Scored 2nd All-Time
.667 Slugging 1st All Time

Trade Deadline Passes with Flurry of Deals
O's Murton Drives in 7 in Win Over White Sox
Ensberg Hits in 7 in Giants' Victory
DENVER- 23 year old star right fielder Donn Ensberg drove in 7 runs in a 16-3 San Francisco win against the Colorado Rockies Monday. Ensberg went 4 for 5 with a walk and three runs scored to add to his 7 RBIs. He finished the game just a triple away from the cycle, his biggest hit coming as a two-run blast in the ninth to top off the Giants' 16-run offensive explosion. Ensberg is having a breakout year, currently having 29 home runs and 96 RBIs to go with an MLB-leading .346 batting average.

TOP 5 POSITION PLAYER OF ALL-TIME NOMINEES
I'd like to start a new debate on this blog - the top pitcher and top position player of all time. I'll start with the nominees for the top position player of all-time. After we vote, I'll post the winner.
1. Chris Roberts - Seattle Mariners
http://www.wisjournal.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2880869
Roberts is currently 31 years old in his 9th Season in the Majors and he already has accumulated these stats:
9-Time All-Star
5-Time MVP
1 World Series Ring
.334 Average (3rd All-Time, .446 OBP (1st All-Time), .584 Slugging Percentage, 221 SB and 414 HR
Its clear that Chris Roberts is going to be a sure fire Hall-of-Famer and is a good nominee for All-Time Greatest Position Player.
2. Ronnie Hodges - Colorado Rockies
http://www.wisjournal.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=268023
Hodges is the first member of the Majors Hall-of-Fame. He was a 3-Time MVP, 5 Time All-Star and accumulated a .321 Batting Avg, with a .397 OBP and and a .606 Slugging Percentage. His overall stats were hurt by the fact that he started in Season 1 of Majors and only was able to play 12 years.
3. Ron Jacobs - Boston Red Sox
http://www.wisjournal.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=814785
The standard bearer. Jacobs is the front-runner for this award. He's accumulated the most amazing stats and was a recently elected to the Majors Hall-of-Fame. His stats are a listing of the top of the all-time leader board:
Avg: .346 - 1st All Time
Hits: 3503 - 1st All Time
HR: 913 - 1st All Time
OBP: .426 - 2nd All-Time
Slug: .677 - 1st All-Time
12 Time All Star and 10-time MVP all most ever. He aslo added 2 World Series rings.
4. Vin Colome - Texas Rangers
http://www.wisjournal.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=264214
Second All-Time in HRs with 818, Colome was a 9-time All-Star and 1 time MVP. He would have won more MVP's if it wasn't for Jacobs. He also added had 3107 Hits and 2,284 RBI and played a decent 3B (although he struggles when played out of position at SS).
5. William Mateo - Colorado Rockies
http://www.wisjournal.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2880979
You can argue that Mateo is a product of his environment, but he hit .305 with 30 HRs in San Fransico this past season. He, like Roberts is 31, and is entering his 11th Season. He stats to date have been excellent: .340 Avg (would place him 2nd all time), .418 OBP, .602 Slugging, with 337 HRs and over 1600 hits. He's a 8-Time All-Star
Honorable Mention: Sammy Alexander: 7-Time All-Star, 594 HRs, 2 Gold Gloves and 1 MVP; Doc Kingman: .420 OBP, 576 HR, .302 Avg., 5-Time All-Star; Donaldo Martin: .297 Avg, 708 HR, .362 OBP. 1 MVP and 2 World Series Rings; Del Matsui, 6-Time All-Star, 1 MVP, 2 World Series Rings, 2 Gold Gloves, 573 HR, 463 SB, .291 Avg.; and Oscar Womack, .316 Avg., 519 SB, 1884 runs (4th All-Time), 444 HR, 8-Time All-Star, 2 World Series Rings and 2 Gold Gloves.

HALL OF FAME DEBATE
Much like the current MLB results, the Majors League has had difficulty in the Hall of Fame Voting in that it was hard to get anyone inducted. From Season 15 when the first member of the Hall of Fame was enacted (3-Time MVP Ronnie Hodges)
to Season 23, only 8 players were enshrined in 8 seasons. Thereafter in Season 24, a renewed effort to vote in those who were worthy was enacted and three (3) new members were enshrined in Season 24. They were:
The one time MVP and six time All-Star hit 573 HRs in his career. with 1900 RBI and a .885 OPS. He was a three time gold glove winner at 1B and won two World Series rings.
Hanley Walker was an easy choice for the Hall. He was a 10-time All-Star and 4-time Cy Young winner who won 2 World Series. He won 316 games in his career against just 162 loses with a 1.23 WHIP.
Another no-brainer. Garcia also won 4 Cy Young's but beat Walker with 13-All Star appearances. He won 312 games against an amazing 132 loses, a 1.14 WHIP and an ERA under 3.00. He was still effective in his Age 40 Season and played 22 ML Seasons.
Given the success of Season 24, here is one pitcher and one hitter who should be considered for enshrinement in the Hall:
Rob Jacobs should be a lock. He retired after Season 23 and his stats make him the best player to ever play in the Majors. 913 HRs, an amazing .426 career OBP and an even more amazing 1.103 career OPS. Not to mention an astonishing 10-straight MVPs. If Jacobs does not get in on the first ballot then they should disband the Hall.
One of the biggest issues and debates in HD Dynasty is what to do with players who started the league at an advanced age and were not able to accumulate stats in their prime years. James Chang started Season 1 at age 30 and was only able to pitch in 8 full ML Seasons. But in those sesaons he won 119 games (almost 15 per season) and lost only 64 games. In those 8 seasons he had a WHIP under 1.16. Is it wrong to assume that Change would have racked up many more victories if he was able to pitch 22 season, most of which would have been in his prime. If he pitched just as good between his Age 22-30 seasons as he did between his age 30-38 Seasons it is reasonable to assume he would have won 300 games. I do not believe he will get in simply based on the fact that there are more deserving candidates that are coming along, but its an interesting topic.
What do you all think?
