    I just don't see an argument that Ohtani isn't the single greatest baseball player ever.
    Because 3 years doesn't mean ****. Ohtani has 26.1 fWAR the last 3 seasons.

    Bonds has multiple 3 year stretches that eclipse that.

    Its a fair argument then - Ohtani hasn't been able to stay on the field.

    I just look at it that the difference between Bonds hitting ability and Ohtanis doesn't make up for hte fact that Bonds couldn't pitch and Ohtani is a top 20 starter currently.

    How in the world can you call someone a top 20 starter who is currently recovering from TJS?

    Except when you look at WAR Bonds more than makes up for it. At multiple points in his career.
