Good grief. Please, no. Headley caught lightning in a bottle last year and has regressed a ton this season. Chris Johnson is : 1) a year younger, 2) THREE YEARS further removed from free agency, 3) cheaper and, most importantly, 4) no worse, if not a better player.

Caveat: I'm talking position players only here. Ruth is by himself. The next level is Cobb, Williams, Bonds, and Wagner. The next level would include Gehrig, Mays, Mantle, Aaron, Musial, and Speaker. Clemente, as great as he was, would not be in my top 30. Cabrera is building a resume, though.

One point that was missed is that Tex did an absolutely great job with the Braves. In right at a full season's work (157 games over the two seasons), he hit right at .300 with 106 runs scored, 37 homers, 134 RBI and 95 walks. Drew did very well as a Brave, too. In 145 games he hit .305, with 31...
