Sean O Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Uh, why isn't Bonds up there? You know, the 3rd best hitter of all time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brutushayesosu Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I was going to say its a toss up between Musial and Brock. Looks like the rest agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 People, Barry Bonds was the best LF in history before he became ridiculous in the late 90s. Lou Brock had a freaking .293 .343 .410 career line. Bonds would've killed himself if he had a season like that. Bonds is a career .299 .444 .609 hitter, with a 183 OPS+. He has 500 SBs, 745 homers, and almost 2500 walks. 2500 walks. Even if he was cheating for 5 years, no other cheater in the league came close to matching what he could do. He is an unbelievable, once-in-a-generation talent. If you want speed, which is Brock's only talent, pick Bonds early in his career. if you want power and average, which is where Musial comes in, pick Bonds from any year in his career. In 1993 he hit .336 .458 .677 with 46 homers and 29 SBs. jesus christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhall Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Bonds......I hate him and he's a cheater, but he's still the best LF of all time IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 yeah, can't stand bonds but we still can't prove that he cheated. until they do and decide to erase him from the record books, he's still the best LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxbjr Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 i have to go with bonds too. if you DQ him for what he probibily did, you'd have to DQ a few other players too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddyCool Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Honestly, I forgot all about Bonds. I was going off a list I made up and was on automatic. But, just my saying that he should be on the roster - that's a write in vote! So as of now, Bonds has 5 write-in's.... ...and no, if the same person mentions a player more than once it is not counted as another vote. Only the first one counts.

TwentySeven Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Bonds... Bonds... Bonds... Bonds. There is really no other answer here. He isn't just the best LF, he is a legit contender for the best player ever. IMO he is the greatest player ever if you aren't factoring in for personality and/or counting him as using steroids.

abc006 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Bonds. Even without the steroids, he's probably top 10 of all time anyway, if not even top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Stan Musial got my vote. Who can go wrong with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Barry Bonds should be in LF, not RF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwentySeven Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Barry Bonds should be in LF, not RF. Barry Bonds isn't listed at all. In RF is Bobby Bonds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
