This is going to be one long list, which is why this article has been divided into 2 parts. In a baseball scoreboards feature, we are going to look at what makes each player the best for each team and in which year. So, without further ado the first 6 teams and players are:

1 – Florida Marlins (ED, NL), Hanley Ramirez 2006-present: It was a tough choice between Ramirez and Luis Castillo. However, Ramirez has proven to be the best player for the Marlins because in his short 5 years he’s won 2 Silver Sluggers, has been a 3 time All-Star and won the NL ROY in 2006, with a the baseball scoreboards showing that he has a career average of .313 BA and an OBP of .385.

2 – Colorado Rockies (WD), Todd Helton, 1997-present: As the Rockies are still pretty young compared to other franchises, Helton was an easy pick. Not only has he been there from almost the beginning, he has a 1229 RBI, 2236 H, 333 HR, 527 2B, 1270 R, .555 SLG and .426 OBP. Besides his outstanding stats, he won the Gold Glove thrice, the Silver Slugger 4 times and has been a 5 time All-Star.

3 – Houston Astros (CD), Jeff Bagwell, 1991-2005: this team had 2 outstanding players: Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio. However, Bagwell bagged the best player title for the Astros, because he had played 700 games less than Biggio! Besides that, Bagwell was also feared by his opponents, Biggio wasn’t! His career stats looked like this: .948 OPS, .540 SLG, .408 OBP, .297 BA, 202 SB, 1529 RBI, 449 HR, 488 2B, 2314 H and 1517 R. He also bagged the 1991 NL ROY and 1994 MVP Award.

4 – Washington Nationals/Montreal Expos (ED), Vladimir Guerrero, 1996-2003: Before the Montreal Expos became the Washington Nationals, Vladimir Guerrero managed to play 8 seasons for the Expos. In his 8 years, his stats looked like this: 1st in HR, SLG, and BA; 3rd in OBP, 4th in RBI, 5th in R, 6th in 2B and H. He won 3 Silver Sluggers and was the All-Star four times.

5 – Milwaukee Brewers (CD), Robin Yount, 1974-1993: He has been the best offensive player in the history of the franchise, and his stats speak for themselves: 1st in RBI, HR, 3B, 2B, H and R; and 2nd in SB. He won 2 AL MVPs in ’82 and ’89 (the Brewers were in the AL until they were transferred to NL in 1998).

6 – Cincinnati Reds (CD), Pete Rose, 1984-1986: He may not be the nicest of people, but he certainly is the best player ever for the Cincinnati Reds and his stats while he was with the Reds prove as much: .307 BA, .379 OBP, 1032 RBI, 152 HR, 115 3B, 601 2B and 1741 R. Besides that, he was a 13 timer All-Star, won 2 Gold Gloves, NL ROY ’63 and the MVP in ’73.
