The Real Home Run King
Barry Bonds is a fraud, in my opinion. Sorry Giants fans, but I would be lying if I said I thought the crown for most homers was rightfully owned by Bonds. Hank Aaron is the true home run king. He hit 755 homers, clean. Barry Bonds hit 762, but how many were because of steroids? Oh, wait, I forgot; they were rescribed by a doctor. Yeah, real convincing, Barry, you've sure got us all fooled with your little innocence act. "He makes $17 million a year and doesn't know what he's taking," as Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Nedrow, put it (see 'News'- "Barry Bonds Prosecuted"). Hank Aaron rightfully deserves the title of home run king, not a doubt in my mind.
Hanley or Tulo?
Who is better, Hanley Ramirez or Troy Tulowitzki? That is a tough question. Both are solid fielders, and both good batters. But which is better? The answer isn't black and white. At this point in time, I believe that Hanley Ramirez has been a better play, stats-wise. Sure, he has had a couple problems with his work ethic, but I'm talking about stats. Tulo is yough, though, and hasn't had nearly as much time in the league as Hanley. Therefore, he hasn't had as much big-league experience, and averages less games and at-bats than than Ramirez. That means the stats can be a little misleading, so keep that in mind when Hanley Ramirez tops Troy Tulowitzki in almost if not every batting statistic. But Troy is still a young player and has loads of potential. I'm not saying he's not good as it is, but he could end up passing up Ramirez. Right now, I think Hanley Ramirez is the better player, but it also comes down to this: if you have a young team, it is much better to have Tulowitzki because he has potential. So who is better, Hanley Ramires or Troy Tulowitzki? Only time can tell.
