Well, sure, career-wise, but there a couple of Cardinals prospects like Nick Stavinoha who had microseconds of brilliance. If he'd played on a place like the moon with less gravity, he'd have put up better home-run numbers.Fat_Bulldog wrote: ↑January 26 23, 12:50 pmWho was better than him?

Re: Will Albert be a unanimous HOF vote?
Weird writers? Like I said. There will be some reason. Always is. Mariano is only unanimous lately.
Age lying matters to Angels and signing a ten-year deal. Like a lot. Age cliffs and projection, etc. Obviously I don't care about billionaire funds but some writers will probably simp for them for sure.

There's no question he was less than truthful about his age. This is not an "if." (Samson interview, Dotel Yahoo report, etc.). I mean look at him during his "age 21 season" not to discriminate but lol.
Age lying only matters to Angels FO. And maybe their beat writers. Because they'll feel the age cliff wasn't taken in account on the contract and that he "stole" money.

Re: Will Albert be a unanimous HOF vote?
Babe isn't even top 50 to me lol. Era being white only is a big reason and just really unathletic. Yes he dominated a bunch of boys where he could swing the lumber, deserves credit, but gets too much IMO. Is Josh Gibson better than Babe Ruth? Willie Mays is so much better than Ruth IMO. Babe Ruth also had ground rule doubles counted as home runs. Mays was stuck in the 600 foot wall or whatever Polo Grounds. Lots of factors to consider.Fat_Bulldog wrote: ↑January 26 23, 12:50 pmWho was better than him? In my opinion, he is in the top 3 baseball players (hitters) ever.

To me it's
Bonds
Mays
Trout
Pujols
A-Rod
Roids be damned, these guys played the game so much better than their peers. Bonds pitch recognition ability is the best of all time. Take 80-100 WAR off for roids if you must lol. Still a GOAT. Mays was such an insane hitter.
Pujols was a 141 wRC+ career hitter. That's not GOAT territory. Just short. Goldy is higher career wise.
Decent chance Aaron Judge could be one of the best all time hitters if he just keeps doing his thing.

Re: Will Albert be a unanimous HOF vote?
Probably an argument that Willie Mays is 3 and AP is four, which just shows what a rare tier AP is in. Also, obviously, Barry Bonds slots in at 1 or 2, and Arod would be up there too, but that's a whole other thing.Fat_Bulldog wrote: ↑January 26 23, 12:50 pmWho was better than him?
