There was this one guy who was a pretty good hitter, so even though he was the best lefthander in ML baseball, management decided in midstream to convert him into an outfielder for his bat. We all know that I'm talking about Babe Ruth. Who would have the guts nowadays to convert a Maddux or Martinez after a few 20 win seasons into a hitter and they immediately go from being one of the three or four best pitchers in baseball to being the most crushing hitter right at the prime age of 24 or 25. That's why anyone who argues that there have been greater players really doesn't have the ammunition to argue.
