Are we taking the player and dropping them into 2023 competition at 18 years old? Or are we guaranteeing that their career turns out exactly the same (ruth hits 714hrs, cobb gets his 4000+ hits, etc). My thinking is that the pitchers won't stand out against today's competition, but if we guarantee their same stats then all those complete games and wins are extremely valuable so I'd take Johnson. If we're dropping them against modern competition with no guarantees, then I'd take cobb or wagner as I think their ability to hit to all fields and good baserunning would stand up best against today's pitchers.
