Better all around? Vlad Guerrero or Roberto Clemente?
Question:I know it's hard because of two different eras, plus Vlad has only a portion of career behind him. But don't you agree they are both similar in substance: High BA, Slug %, Low Strikeout, Good Arms. Let me know
Answers:
And with all that - you are opening up a whole can of worms, in terms of opinions. That is what makes comparing players from two different eras so difficult.
So, my opinion is probably Roberto Clemente. Fields were worse back then. Now most fields are groomed to absolute perfection, like playing on carpet. Clemente played back in the 60's when it was still tough for non-white players, as far as non-baseball related issues. Roberto seemed to only have one decent teammate at the time. And Vlad, although his current team is pretty iffy, he has played among some good hitters.
good comparison. Guerrero will be in that class if he continues.
Vlad has 346 HR
Clemente has 240
So I'll say Vlad is better
i think vladimir guerrero is better. he already has more home runs than roberto and he hasnt even finished his career yet. Guerrero also is a better hitter, he hits a higher average (against pitchers that are probably better now than they used to be) and he can hit nearly anything. and fielding- guerrero has a rocket arm, he can throw from deep right to home plate accurately. guerrero is easily an all around player-- power, on base- pretty good speed- fielding. you cant go wrong with a guy who has a shot at winning the triple crown. vladimir guerrero is one of the best players in the mlb. hes easily better
I'm old enough to have seen both of these athletes play and for my money (I don't have a whole lot) it's Roberto. If the Vladinator gets 3,000 hits and becomes a national hero for losing his life trying to save people in his native land, we can talk.
