    Lol rookies here. The toughest out in baseball was Wade Boggs. He hardly struck out and got on base nearly twice the league average.

    I'm assuming you're just being a homer but Pujols on the cards was 5x better than Cabrera ever was.

    Stax, there is no way you can safely assume that none of those guys used anything to gain an edge. Barry Bonds is the greatest hitter ever.

    Mike Trout (currently one of the top 5 this year) and in the top 10 all-time in the future when he keeps playing like that.

    Exactly, any top ten list that excludes Gehrig is just ignorant, and that's being kind.
    He led the majors in RBI five times batting behind Ruth.
    Lifetime .340 hitter.

    Enough said

    Best hitter I ever saw.

    It's a shame MLB colluded in 2008 to get him out of baseball. He was still better than 95% of hitters.

    trout that one is closed, he wins games today by himself.

    Historically Barry is pretty damn good, that swing is also pretty damn good regardless of PEDS.

    Chipper Jones. He could hit from both sides of plate. Barry Bonds was not amphibious.
