The Angels (Pujols and Trout?) would be my guess as to what you're suggesting.
That said, I knew this would be a great debate. Have not counted up the "yays and nays" but it seems to be a near-perfect split. One factor not discussed much was Edgar's clutch hitting and his ability to get the key hit when they needed it most. Tough to measure that factor statistically, but having watched him throughout his career, I can say he was one of the best.
Great guy as well... I personally hope Edgar gets in on his last ballot.
