Best hitter of the 90's?

[kdailey4315]

Watching the Giants game and they had a great poll question. Who was the best hitter of the 90s not named Barry Bonds. Keep in mind this is a Giants game hence Excluding Bonds.
Griffey Jr.
Gwynn
Piazza
Ivan Rodriguez

My vote is Gwynn even if Bonds was an option. He's the best pure hitter Ive ever seen.
I would make an actual poll but I'm on my iPhone.

A little known guy named Frank Thomas...

 

[kdailey4315]

Other was an option. I forgot to add it.

Mark Grace, Jay Buhner, or Steve Lombardozzi (Steve was early 90's though.)

In my opinion, it's Griffey Jr

Larry Walker would be in the Top 10 I think..

 

[aaron41984]

Edgar was a beast at the dish.

for the whole 10 year decade I go with Griffey, then Thomas... then Bonds/Gwynn...

people forget how lights out E Martinez was from 95-01, you compare his stats from the second half of the 90s he will beat any righthanded bat

 

[bozemanbreaker]

A little known guy named Frank Thomas...

My vote as well. Pounded a ton of HRs and RBIs and still managed to hit for a good average.

Gwynn...hands down. Not that I am biased or anything...

bonds...one of the best of all time not just 90's

I don't think Larry Walker gets the credit he deserves though. He's def top 10, maybe top 5 of the 90's IMO.

yeah guys like Belle and Walker are right up there with the other big guys

I might have to back Mark Grace here, dosent he have the most hits in the 90s ? Some other names that will go not noticed.

Biggio
McGriff
Juan Gon
Steve Finley (1500+ hits)

 

[smapdi]

Don't forget Craig Biggio. I refer you to Bill James's New Historical Abstract for a fairly convincing argument, at least versus Griffey.

Thank you sir:nod:

 

[Card Magnet]

How this guy was not an option just baffles me. Boo Giants game crew.

 

[Bornagaincollector]

Albert Belle is top 3-5,no doubt

 

[George_Calfas]

Bagwell/Belle

 

[MojoDan]

Will Clark and Mark Grace leap to mind along with Gwynn
