Frank Thomas or Alex Rodriguez- who would be a better clean-up hitter?
Question:If you were to pick either player for a clean-up hitter, which would you choose and why? I would choose Thomas because he doesn't slump like Alex Rodriguez and hits 30 or so home runs every season (Rodriguez only hit about 20 last year).
So, I need some opinions. Rodriguez or thomas?

So wait, you chose Frank Thomas because quote " because he doesn't slump like Alex Rodriguez and hits 30 or so home runs every season (Rodriguez only hit about 20 last year)."Dude, get your facts straight..he hit 35 and 121 last year. You hit that, and they will put you in the Hall. BUt he was criticized for having an off year, lol. Off year 35 and 121.
Wait check this out:
Career stats:
Alex - 306. BA, 2100 hits, 476 HR, 1400 RBIs, 1400 runs, 250 SB. 31 years old
Frank - .304BA, 2300 hits, 489 HR, 1600 RBIs, 1400 runs, 30 SB 39 years old
Whats funny is all I had to say was Alex Rodriguez and it shouldn't even require an explanation, just turn on the TV.
Hmm.. I would chose Thomas too, he is a more consistent hitter then Rodriguez, and he is the only good hitter besides Wells on his team, Rodriguez has to compete with Jeter and Giambi.

I'm going with Thomas also. He is consistent unlike A-rod. A-rod also has his teammates to back him up. Think about it. Without all of those people that batted before him in the ninth today, he wouldn't have had the chance to hit the homerun. Credit his teammatesWhy do the astros do sooo much badly on offense??
it's not even close, i'd take a-rod...he's a lot younger, plays defense unlike thomas, hits for a better average, and as a side note has a lot more speed when he does get on the basepathsthomas is a very good home-run hitter, but has trouble doing much of anything else
also, a-rod hit 29 home runs or so last season if i'm not mistaken, which is a lot closer to 30 than 20
What is the greatest baseball game you ever been to?
Frank Thomas He's a Stronger Clean Up Hitter then A Rod.Can anyone tell me which major league baseball players wear the numbers 0 and 3?
id choose thomas because hes more consistent than mr. slumping a-rod who tends to not hit anything when hes on his periodhowever, above thomas id choose ortiz or pujols as cleanup, ortiz is seriously pure power and pujols is power and average (on top of that pujols is consistent in power and average, all his seasons from rookie-present are with .300 average or above and at least 30 homers)
A-Rod of NYY is better than Thomas of OAK any day.
Why do they call Ken Harrelson "Hawk"?
A ROD!Who get's their milestone 1st?
Actually A-Rod hit 35 homers last year, but I'd still rather have Thomas as my cleanup hitter, not because hes more of a clutch hitter or anyhting like that, but because I would rather have A-Rod batting 3rd and coming to the plate in the first inning every game. Also that'll get him 50-60 more at bats in a season.Sports writers pick the dodgers to win the NL this year. opinions?
A-Rod for this year because he wants a raise this year. So he will actually try to play the game. We should pay him by the year or better pay him only when he hits! He'll never have cold streak again I gurantee it.Who was the last manager to take the cubs to the world series?
Alex Rodriguez!! GO YANKEES!!What's the longest 2 pitchers have had a no hitter in the same game?
Alex is one of the best hitters in the game right now, and maybe ever (no I am not a Yankee fan. I hate the Yankees). Frank Thomas at this point is too old to even be considered.More Questions & Answers...
