Even if we're comparing non-steroid guys to non-steroid guys. Mike Trout is a better pure hitter, base runner, fielder than Griffey and he walks more. The only thing you can say about Griffey is that if he stayed healthy, he could have broken the HR record. At this rate, other than HRs, in Trout's first 10 years he's going to annihilate Griffey's first 10.

Let's see Trout GET to 10 years first before proclaiming him to be something he's not yet.
IF Griffey had succumbed to steroids or HGH, his career numbers would be absolutely untouchable. The fact that he did it without performance enhancers while missing a metric shit ton of games is unbelievable.
His name will be amongst the greats, as it should be.
