Slightly O/T - Best 100 Hitters

Im a huge Clemente fan,a Pirates fan since i was old enough to root for a team and altho the list is a bit off i could see how they rank Howard or Powell ahead of Clemente.First off its just based on hitting and both of those guys have higher combined on base % and slugging % than Clemente eventho he hit for a much higher average.They also had a better RBI per AB average than him. All 3 of them struck out alot so based solely on that you could say its not far fetched to rate them as high or slightly higher.

If defense and speed is factored is then you wouldnt even see Powell and Howard on the list and Clemente would be ranked higher but its not so im not going to argue
