He's not grasping at straws at all. You made a bold statement:

It doesn't matter how good you are, no one can survive in the league or experience prolonged success striking out more times than they get a hit.

In response, he gave you the names of several players who did quite clearly have sustained success while having more strike outs than hits for their careers.
Reggie Jackson is a Hall of Famer.
Jim Thome will be a Hall of Famer.
Jose Canseco hit 462 home runs.
Ryan Howard has hit 362 home runs, and will likely cross 400 home runs.
Cecil Fielder hit 319 home runs, and drove in over 1,000.
Instead of telling him "you're grasping at straws", perhaps you should do a little research first before making statements like the one you did.
