Re: Most Overrated Baseball Players of All-Time

If I understand the way you are using peak, this is simply untrue. McGwire had 4 consecutive seasons in which he posted an OPS of 1.110+, slugged .650, and walked more than 100 times. In the three partial seasons that surrounded those his numbers were similar. Thomas's peak was sustained for a few more seasons, but you can hardly say he had a much higher peak.
Thomas did manage to see more playing time than McGwire, but he definately was not a "much better" baseball player.
