All the picks have been fine thus far. However, there should never be an all time MLB draft where the first 2 picks werent Babe Ruth and Willie Mays. They are the best 2 players to ever play the game in my opinion.

I think Bonds, Williams, Mays and Ruth all have good arguments. I just don't think there can ever be a consensus number one considering how drastically the game has changed since its inception.

I think Mays would have hit 800 homeruns if he hadnt missed 2 seasons to military and played in the toughest park in baseball for a RH hitter to hit homers.

Bonds simply was not in the class of Ruth, Mays, Williams, or Gehrig until the roid era. Sorry, but its true.

Shhhh...He is the greatest to ever play according to this board.

It must suck to have to rely on the abilities of others to make your points for you and all you can do is make snarky comments.

Lifer, while he did win multiple MVPs, John has a point. We're talking about the best of the best here, and Bonds didn't dominate to the same degree that those other guys did before the steroid era.

That being said, Bonds dominated that era (statistically speaking) moreso than any other player's done. His production relative to the era...despite the valid point that John makes...is what's going to be measured here.

I think both sides have valid points here.

It must suck to rely on a internet message board to prove your worth in life.

You assume that I do.

All I'll say is this. If you act respectfully, you'll never get a "jab" from me.

Back to the draft.

That's a fair argument.

Bonds had already won multiple MVPs by the time his head grew 3 sizes to big, you can throw him in the argument...

First off my initial comment wasn't even at you, but like always you had to make things about you and your so supposed knowledge (i uses the term very loosely), and jumped in firing off stuff.
Don't speak unless spoken to kid.
Back to the draft.

I dont think that is necessarily true. Bonds was a great player obviously but not one of the greatest ever to play until he had help. There are others who have won multiple MVPs who would never be in that discussion.

Listen, Bonds was a great player before the roid era. No doubt he was first ballot HOF. I just dont think he is in the class of the top 4-5 players of all time. However, What IF just looks at one year and doesnt consider the roids era so he probably would be the top pick given that.
