    As much as I love the Giants, not sure that Stretch > Jeter. Well even Biggio > Jeter is just wrong.

    Did anyone else expect Lynch was Manky?

    When I rank my players, I take this into consideration: Counting totals, rate stats, relative stats, peak, longevity, special skills, awards/opinions, intangibles, team support/lack of support, special circumstances, time missed for war/injuries, etc.

    They have Maddux at 13 and Johnson at 12, which has to mean that cocksucker Clemens cracked the top 10 and is their best-ever pitcher. Bastards.

    Clemens at 7. Higher than Gehrig, Mantle and Musial.

    Morons.

    Hard to argue with the top 6... Glad Mays was ahead of Bonds...

    Schmdit at 16? Morgan at 20?
    They're not ranking by position. No way. There are debatable points like is Ricky Henderson too high. But Scmidt and Morgan are unequivably too high.

    Bonds is not better than Micky, Stan, Teddy, Joe D and quite possibly not better than Frank Robinson. And with Bonds, in a ranking like this, you have to severly discount or ignore everything he did after 2000.

    Then you need to asterix any players that played before integration.

    Frank Robinson (it seems to me) is a terribly underappreciated player.
