I hear all this crap on how hes a top 3 player of all time. He's good no doubt, but top 3 I don't think thats even a legit question just because he's 3rd all-time in HR's he's now the 3rd best player? I think hes between 6-10, but no way top 3. What do you all think?

Well lets see
Bonds is 9th all time in career slg pct
Bonds will be number 1 all time in walks
Bonds is 8th all time at obp
Bonds holds the single season records for both slg pct and obp
Bonds holds the single season hr record
there is little doubt Bonds will end his career nothing short of 2nd all time hr list
Bonds has 6 mvps
Bonds has 8 gold gloves
Bonds is the only member of the 400/400 club (hrs/sbs)
Bonds is the only member of the 500/500 club (ditto)
Bonds is 5th all time for extra base hits
Thats a pretty good list of unique accomplishments. Given that Ruth and Mays are better overall who beats out Bonds? You could argue Williams who had neither the speed or the defense of Bonds, you could argue Gehrig who also lacked the speed, I honestly don't know who you put ahead of Bonds?
