Exactly.
DiMaggio belongs on any all-time "five tool" list.

Even though I don't care for him would Rickey Henderson garner any votes for this?

I've always thought he might very well be the most talented baseball player who ever lived.
some as good, Cobb ,, Mays ( maybe) but none better

yeah this just got me thinking where would you put Ivan Rodriguez in this list? not saying he should be top 10 but he really had it all IMO but would you consider him a 5-tool guy?

Wiki defines it as both.

Sure, but he was not all that great defensively. Despite his speed only played LF, and had a Johnny Damon-type arm. But probably dominated a baseball game on offense unlike anybody I've ever witnessed not named Barry Bonds. Of course, Rickey was likely juiced out of his mind as well.

Some would say Duke Snider, but I'd say like the Babe, the SBs aren't there. Not a knock on their abilities though.
Hard to argue against Joe Morgan IMO.
Robbie Alomar?
Paul Molitor? (no d)
Craig Biggio?
Johnny Damon? (no arm)
Ichiro?
Underrated guy:
Bobby Abreu

This and defense is what seperates most people

What about Cano?

Dale Murphy
Hands down the greatest baseball player ever invented. Not only did he amass 398 homeruns in just 18 seasons, he did so without alcohol, caffine, blowjobs, or any other vice that all these other "baseball players" abuse on a regular basis.

why does everyone hate dale murphy?
Not me man, I was just dicking around. He was my idol. I've went to see him play 20+ time and I'm sure my mom still has somewhere the dozen or so Murph poster I had on my wall as a kid.

I love Murphy but Eric Davis belongs on the list before him.
