I would have to say it's a toss up between bonds or griffey.
Even before the roids, bonds was on his way to being a top 10 player of all time.
Greatest pitcher in my opinion would be pedro martinez.
Since steroids don't matter on the coli because we love bonds so much another player who is greatly slept on is manny ramirez. He probably is the greatest all around hitter of all time, not only does he give you 40+ homeruns, 130 rbi's but he'll do it all while batting .300+.
The greatest display of batting I ever saw was 44 hr, 165 rbi (mlb record) and .333 batting average

Barry bonds in the 8th inning in 2003 was facing a fresh left handed specialist coming out of the bullpen throwing 98 MPH.
Babe Ruth in the 8th inning in 1923 was facing a tired starter who had already thrown 200 pitches who was throwing 85 MPH

Bonds is the GOAT.
This era, Trout's first 5 years are better than pretty much anyone elses. Could easily have 5 MVPs. 4 out of his 5 seasons are on a par or better than Hank Aaron's peak.
Even if he pumps out 8+ WAR seasons for the next 10 years he won't get those crazy 35-40 PED numbers like Bonds. He's comfortably in the same tier as Pirates/early Giants Bonds though.

Ted Williams is the greatest hitter ever.
That's not going to change.
