Philly has not made an appreciable difference in his numbers for his career. Just looked at Howard’s home/road splits… and I’M DEAD WRONG.

And if Howard did not play in the launching pad, his inability to make consistent contact would affect his numbers significantly. I would agree that Gonzalez is just as good as Tex.

Seriously? What about the guy who won the NL MVP. I would also argue that Ryan Howard is comparable to Tex. Adrian Gonzalez is just as good as Tex. Look at his numbers, and on THAT team. He may be one of the better FAs available, but that hardly makes him an elite player. Someone above said something like, “There is A-ROD, Manny, and what else?” Seriously?

There are good CFs, but Beltran is def the best. I agree. There are good CFs, but Beltran is def the best.

Forget about his performance on the field, we should go by the perception of fans and the media. If Beltran isn't a superstar of CF, who is besides Sizemore?
