Certainly on the shortlist for top 10 or so position players.

But best hitter, just pure hitter, nah. 32 dudes in our history have had a career OPS above .900 so I think it's fair to say you gotta be a good bit above that mark to get into that conversation.

What about the ability to play elite level defense while hitting at an elite level. It's not all about .OPS.

Hey, would ya look at the word in bold? It's says player. Then you turn the convo to best hitter. C'mon Shel, comprehension. If we're talking just hitting then sure, you gotta point there.
