Mike Trout

I mean Mike Trout is the most special player I've ever seen play. Bonds on roids is the most special, but obviously tainted.

Through 28 year old season, Mike Trout has the 4th highest fWAR, Behind Cobb, Hornsby, and Mantle, has at least 250 PA less than all 3 of them.

He is on his way to being a hall of fame talent that hasn't existed since the 60s.

Have to disagree. He started growing as soon as he hit California. Dude went from 10-25 homers to 30-45 homers. Then even more. He started taking HGH probably the last year in pit. He is a special talent. But he is also a mega cheater. It is a shame he won’t ever make the hall because of that. He was good enough to get there without cheating.

That's not true. Bonds always had power. He hit 30 or more homers 8 times before he started juicing.

There's this myth that steroids adds a ton of power, it doesn't. It adds recovery which leads to some more muscle, but where it really helps is the ability to take more BP. The ability to get hurt less. So on so forth.
