I like the guy, but THAT is stretching it. I could name off the top of my head at least 75 players better than him. believe me or not, bill james had him at 35 overall. I dont know if hes that high but top 50 certainly is within the realm of possibilities (Although a lot of his value was due to his game being pretty park-nuetral and then playing in an extreme HR depressing park....nonetheless the value was still created, in wins). He's definitely one of the greats of our generation, no doubt.
