Past, Present, Future 5 Tool Players...
I was wondering who you thought are the best "5-Tool" players in baseball history? I think it's a remarkable thing when a player can combine all 5 talents (batting avg, batting power, base-running speed, throwing, and defense). In my mind, Barry Bonds and Griffey Jr. were the best "Present" (ok I realize they retired a couple years ago...) and Andrew McCutcheon a future 5-Tool Guy. "Past" I'm not so sure about but would be interested in particular of pre-war guys, I guess Mantle and Mays would be the obvious chocies off the top of my head.. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Also, do you think "5-tool" no longer applies or is still relevant? Ir seems like traditional stats are now challenged by sabermetrics (OPS, etc.) and therefore the 5 Tool Paradigm might be too simplistic of a way to evaluate a player's worth...
