Bonds won three MVP awards in the 90s. Griffey won 1. Griffey hit for more power

Also --Bonds stole a lot more bases. Griffey's best base stealing year would've

Bonds had a higher WAR, higher OPS, more SB's, more runs, same avg, higher slg.

Josef K

And he kills him in OBP, walks, strikeouts, and stolen bases. Griffey was a

Griffey was a better fielder, had the same BA, and hit more HR's.

Bonds' WAR for the nineties was the second highest for any decade since the 30's

Josef K

5/7/15 10:11am

Pre-steroids Bonds was the best MLB player since Mays. He was amazing. He hit

Bonds isn't in the discussion

blucoug18

Pre-steroids he won 3 MVP awards and was the best player in baseball.

We didn't make him take steroids.

If we're honest, the pre-steroids Bonds was having a fantastic career

donnerstag

probably inflated? Like hitting 73 HR at age 36?

blucoug18

5/7/15 10:21am

You missed the "in a dramatic way" part of my statement

donnerstag

Exactly. His career BA would probably be in the high .280's or low .290's,

You anti bonds folks are nuts.

Bonds began using after the 1998 season

kimdaddy35

With a normal decline as he aged, he wouldn't have cracked 600.

Okay so he was three months short of 35.
