no

Bonds
Pudge
Frank Thomas

A-Rod was better 3/4 years they played together too

are you dumb?

go look at stats

quote:

---

Ken Griffey Jr. had a .300 batting average with 1,569 hits, 350 home runs, 1,018 RBIs and 940 runs scored in 1,375 games in his first 10 seasons.

---

quote:

---

Frank Thomas batted .320 with 1,564 hits, 301 homers, 1,040 RBIs and 968 runs scored in 1,371 games in his first 10 seasons

---

pretty much equal in everything but Junior had 50 more home runs and was a golden glove winner every year in the 90s, 7 silver sluggers, mvp and players choice award for player of the decade

frank only had 3 silver sluggers and no gold gloves. but did have 2 mvps


im ok with bonds but no way on pudge

quote:

---

Ivan Rodriguez batted .304 with 1,459 hits, 171 homers, 704 RBIs and 715 runs scored in 1,260 games in his first 10 seasons.

---

so way worse. and arod was not better in the 90s. not even close and even if you extend it to first 10 years for arod

quote:

---

Alex Rodriguez hit .308 with 1,535 hits, 345 home runs, 990 RBIs and 1,009 runs scored in 1,275 games in his first 10 seasons

---

almost identical to griffey in the 90s. so how could Arod be better in the 90s when his best seasons where 01-03?


as for bonds

quote:

---

Barry Bonds had a .302 batting average with 1,478 hits, 361 homers, 1,076 RBIs and 1,091 runs scored in 1,434 games between the 1990 and 1999 seasons.

---

so almost the same as griffey and not as good in the field


so again, explain how he was better?
