If you think HRs are the only thing that matters. Even if you give Griffey the edge on HRs and fielding (if he did, it was not by much at all... Bonds was going to be an awesome power hitter regardless of steroids and he was an elite LF)... Barry as an elite pure hitter, base runner, and had extraordinary plate patience. Far better than Griffey in those areas.
Griffey was an outstanding player. But even counting Barry's steroid use, he's no Bonds.
