Bonds was a first ballot, 95+% Hall of Famer BEFORE roids.

Honestly you make no attempt to understand even simpler concepts of sabermetrics, like batter vs pitcher matchup data or “hot hand” data. Just admit that you don’t understand them, and that you have no interest in anything that doesn’t confirm your own beliefs.
It's far more difficult for a team like the Pirates to replace Cole or McCutcheon than it would be for a rich team to replace a player.
It's also far more difficult to replace an elite C, SS or 2B than it is to replace a LF, RF or 1B.
I have been looking at batter vs. pitcher match-ups since the 1960s.
Of course, many basketball stat geeks say the "hot hand" doesn't exist.
Yet you can't prove any value from them.
I was not talking about basketball.
