Ken Griffey Jr’s RAW power was underrated....dumb ass.

[Taadow]

No it wasn't.

 

[Donald Trumps Twitter]

Dunn wasn’t even in the same area code as a player as Griffey.

But Dunn’s raw power was far greater.

Would you say these guys have more raw power:



Jose Bautista
Frank Thomas
Vladimir Guerrero
Ryan Howard
Jim Thome

Exactly who has EVER underrated Griff Jr.’s power? I’ll wait...

You misunderstood the thread.

 

[big bun]

You misunderstood the thread.

His power, anyway you define it, was NEVER underrated.

Andres Galarraga had roughly the same number of homers as Alfonso Soriano.

You really gonna sit there and act like both guys were perceived as equal power hitters?



You clowns know what I’m getting at but refuse to backtrack upon clarification.

We get the thread, you're just making a moronic argument.

I didn’t say HE was underrated.
I said his (raw) power was underrated.

Yeah and no, prime griffey was best at the time and in contention for best to ever do it

Injuries made his decline happen rapidly, he might have been juicing? Not likely but would explain his freakish power

All I know is...

Shawn Kemp left Seattle, went to Cleveland and got fat.

Junior left Seattle, went to Cincinnati and got fat.

Ohio being the common denominator...

 

[Shorty K]

Ken Griffey Jr was the most popular baseball player in the 90s tho

To me Mariners griffey is in that same rarified air as Cardinals Pujols and Mariners Arod. Amazingly patient hitters that can pull the ball either way and hit for contact and power.


He wasn’t Barry Bonds strong though.

Yes, he was.
He was better than bonds potentially.


Real talk, tho.

fukk baseball, till infinity.

Mainly the jackasses on page one who couldn’t understand that while Griffey was always a great talent and prospect...he wasn’t always perceived as having top end raw power.

The original thread was just “Griffey’s power was underrated”. And rather than address every new moron who came in the thread talking about “he hit 600 homers!!”...I edited the title to highlight his RAW power.

And of course, rather than admitting that Griffey wasn’t ever looked at in the classical slugger perspective, they just double down because that’s what the coli does.

The fact is Griffey was always considered an elite player in the 5 tool sense. (So was Bonds). They were never really viewed as guys that were gonna hit 450 footers routinely...though they did, sometimes.
