Off Day Argument - June 8

Lately there hasn't been a whole lot of chatter with the Off-Day Argument, it's been more like an Off-Day Monologue. Today, that changes!

With tomorrow being the 1st round of the MLB Amateur Draft, I thought this argument timely and appropriate: Who was the best #1 overall pick of all time?

-Darryl Strawberry (1980): 335 HR, .259 lifetime BA, .862 career OPS
-Ken Griffey, Jr. (1987): 617 HR (and counting), .287 BA, .916 OPS
-Chipper Jones (1990): 415 HR, .311 BA, .956 OPS
-Alex Rodriguez (1993): 561 HR, .305 BA, .967 OPS
-Answer 5: Write in your own vote
