He was destined to be the greatest pure ballplayer since Willie Mays. Griffey should have gotten all the home run records and recognition, not Bonds. | I have to say Griffey is probably my favorite player of all time, and the thing that sucks is that he made so many plays in the outfield and put his body on the line so often, that I think it's one of the main reasons he was injured so often.
But I have to agree....if he doesn't miss the majority of 2 years of his career and he's not worn down, he probably owns the HR record right now easily.

Probably Jones. Edmonds is the most overrated defensive player ever. Nobody has made more routine grabs look like insane catches than Edmonds.

Jones and Griffy have better arms, but as far as making a play I am going to have to with Ichiro... why he is not on the poll is beyond me.
