He has a chance to be the all-time home-run and RBI leader.

No.
That title will ALWAYS belong to Ty Cobb.

Before anyone thinks of you as a troglodyte, or actually calls you that, you have an interesting question. Best ever? Hm. Probably not, but certainly one of them. A 40-40 season, probably the home run record, a couple of 50 home run seasons as a pretty good shortstop -- all certainly impress. It's a little dicey calling anyone the best -- how can you really decide between batters and pitchers, after all -- so maybe settle for top 10, or even 25.

He won't ever take the place of Babe Ruth this guy pitched for 3 years(and pretty well) before he hit over 700 homeruns...he's the best no matter how you look at it...it will take someone a lot more special then A-Rod to fill that mans shoes I don't care what their stats are.

A-Rod is a great player and I believe when it is all over he will be on a very short list of players when the question of "greatest ever" comes up. You will never have a majority of fans agree on almost anything let alone greatest ever. Just enjoy watching him take a run at 800 homeruns and revisit this question in 10 to 12 years.

If Rodriguez stays healthy, he will break all sorts of records. I think he will go down as the best player ever.

He should be but Ruth is always going to be the biggest one. I mean the guy was a great pitcher. Also playing in a Era that hr's were uncommon he had his monstrous seasons. I mean yea A-rod is great and streroid free but he plays in a Era where anybody hit 20 hr's. So I think Ruth going to be since he helped revolutionized baseball to the game we know it today.

he will be one of the best, i dont believe there is a "best". if he stays healthy he has a great chance of having the most homeruns and rbi's. barry bonds will unfortunately beat it but it hopefully wont last long. bonds doesnt deserve what he is about to accomplish. that is why hank wont even recognize him or who he is. but yes he will be one of the best

He has a very long way to go to be considered that! As of right now he might be in the top 50!

alex will be up there. the rbi record will be hard to break, but i'd love to see him take the home run record from baroid.

He's certainly in the discussion. I don't think he'll ever be feared though in the way that Bonds and Pujols are right now. He's an amazing player, but keep in mind that he's playing in an era with inflated stats. I'm not sure he'll ever be as good as Willie Mays, Ty Cobb or even Bonds.

I think he will be considered one of the best but not the greatest. Ruth,Cobb,Bonds, those types of guys will be ranked ahead of him or should be anyways
