    As a Canadian I love Joey Votto, but you have him ranked way too high. Just because he has played more recently than some does not make him an all-time great.

      Kevin, love to get insight from others. Where would you rank him and why?

        Certainly below Bench, Rose, and Larkin. I think one can make the case for Perez as well.

        the numbers speak for themselves. Votto has a high OBP but like Trout that just means that pitchers are pitching around him.

        Bench, Larkin, and Perez are Hall of Famers. We know the reason why Rose is not eligible for the Hall. It is highly unlikely that Votto will make the Hall of Fame. He is not going to reach 3000 hits or 500 home runs. He is not going to have 3 batting titles and 7 golden gloves like Larry Walker.

        Johnny Bench ranks below Joey Votto. JOHNNY BENCH. The greatest catcher of all-time ranks below Joey Votto. Come on, you want to be taken seriously. You cannot make a mistake like that. Justify how Votto had a better career.

        Bench, Rose, Larkin, and Lombardi all rank above Votto. Bucky Walters ranks above Jose Rijo as well. Wow! This is a flawed article.
