O'Driscol good player not the fastest. same for caleb ralph, rocokoco. habana one of the greatest wings ive seen in a long time but i know for a fact that hes not the fastest. there is guys from fiji and japan that are faster and there are players from other african countries that have not had world reconigtion. players from kenya and so on. oh ya and robinson was extremely fast but he has retired lately and he is older than he was so even if he still played he wouldnt be the fastest player.

Juan Gonzalez.  The guy was total talent with the bat, and he just bulked up and wore out his body on roids.

Javier Vazquez\n\nHe batted .238 (15-63) with one home run and two RBI at the plate, including a four-game hitting streak from 5/6-28.

106? Not acccording to Baseball Almanac. \n\nhttp://www.baseball-almanac.com/articles/fastest-pitcher-in-baseball.shtml\n\n4 Pitchers tied at 102 in a Major League game, and career minor leaguer Steve Dalkowski as probably the fastest of all time.

Slower than slow. Thankfully he didn't have far to go when he scored that touchdown in '86. Sorry Walter.

I believe it was Thoeren Fleury of Calgary, Colorado, NY Rangers, Chicago.  I'm not positive, but I thought I heard him referred to as the shortest in history during his playing days. \n\n5'6".\n\nOh yeah.  Mike Antonovich of the North Stars, Whalers, and Devils was also 5'6".  There's bound to have been other five-sixers.

I think he definitely is weaker this season, probably because he is not using steroids anymore because of the new, tougher steroid penalty. ( 50 games first offense, 100 games second offense, and a lifetime ban for a third.) He also does not have much protection in the lineup behind him, so he wont get as many pitches to hit, therefore is porbably not going to break Hank Aaron's career home-run record this year.

chone figgins\nhe played every position except catcher and pitcher

you're kidding, juan pierre is absolute trash, unelss by "best lead off hitter ever" you mean a .235 BA, an abysmal .272 OBP, ZERO home runs, and a whole whopping 4 RBIs. Starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo already has 2 Home Runs, 2 more than Pierre's zero.  SPs Tom Glavine has a better batting average and on base percentage, Livan Hernandez has more RBIs.  Hell Livan Hernandez is more of a threat at the plate right now.  Awful.

All time is Mickey Mantle. He could do it all batting left or right handed. Today it has to be Albert Pujols.

It was Jeffey Leonard of the San Francisco Giants vs the St Louis Cardinals. This from a guy who hit only 17 HR for the season.

Take your pick, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, or Mickey Mantle.  All three hit with power and ran with speed when they were in their prime. \n \nI believe the pitching is watered down now days with some many major league teams that there is not enough solid pitching to go around.  So it's difficult to compare today hitters with players from the 1920s to the 1970s.

I think it's Darren Sproles of The San Diego Chargers. He's only 5'6" tall.

well if you are talking players that should be better than they are, then huff and sexson get my vote.\n\nfor the whole mlb, there are a couple players stinking it up:\nblanco is roughly 1 for his last 29.\nscutaro is 2/32\ndimitri young is also sucking

If you're just talking about hitting, I'd say you're right about Chipper.  As far as all around player, if I were starting a team tomorrow of switch hitters, the first player I'd have to choose would be Jason Varitek.  I think with the position he plays he's much more valuable to a team.

I'll probably take heat for this, but I have to go with Bonds here.\n\nAaron had incredible longevity and consistency - he never hit over 50 home runs, yet holds the career home run record; very impressive. He also did this under intense scrutiny and racial tension - back then, people weren't excited about the Babe being passed by a black man (you might say the same thing is true today, but not to the same extent).\n\nHowever, even before Bonds allegedly (this has never been proven for sure, although it certainly looks like he did it) took steroids, he was doing things few players have ever done in the sport, like hitting for 30 home runs and stealing 30 bases in the same season, which he did a bunch of times (he even went 40/40 in '96). And then his stats are just unbelievable for the past 6-10 years. Not only his home run totals, either. His slugging percentage and walks (he barely got pitches to hit for a few years in a row) rivaled the Babe during this stretch. Sure, steroids (if he did take them) helped, but his innate ability and hard work had to have a big part of this. I mean, the guy was unpitchable for awhile. Aaron was never unpitchable or even close to it.\n\nIt's too bad Bonds has this steroid thing hanging over him.
