    arod and any of the other dopers will never be accepted as great players. i think you will always see people saying "but he doped" when they talk about bonds, or mcgwire, or sosa or any of those guys.

    its the non dopers that will always be respected. i'd start naming off people and players who have used and i think its a safe bet, history will look kind on them


    i disagree...

    Bonds was a top tier talent long before he blew up. He had all the tools in pittsburgh when he was still a skinny kid.
    81 is now off the air

    Ryan Howard (shhh don't tell Fixer on here as his head might explode) and Chase Utley.

    but of course it's Pujols and it's not close. the rest just playing for 2nd.

    if yes, i'm going with Bonds

    if not, i'm going with Halladay

    Yeah, Bonds of course had a great decade, and insane statistical increase in 2000-2001. hmm ;)

    I like the ones that sneak up on you though. I never really hear news of Ichiro, and now he's like 37-38 years old. Of course, that's because his team is never too good. Also I think i heard that Mark Grace had the most hits in the 90's. That surprised me (if it was in fact correct)

    grace did have the most hits in the 90s... most doubles and sac flies, too. he was my favorite player growing up. he'll be only the second player to ever have the most hits in a decade to not make the HoF... the other is pete rose.

    anyways, i'm surprised that anyone would utter a name other than albert pujols in this discussion. i hate that guy, but he's a freak. and i'll love him when he comes to the cubs next year!!

    The pool is soo tainted with blue steroid pee it would be impossible to defeinitively determine if anyone is clean, and that being said none of them would get my vote.

    if you include roids you have to say Bonds/Clemens

    overall is a no-brainer with Pujols

    Everyone else that was mentioned could be considered for #2- Halladay, Ichiro, A-Rod, Jeter

    Were Helton and Vlad mentioned yet :?:


    I wouldn't include Chipper and Bonds(their best years were more from '95-'05 IMO)
