> To all. Frank Thomas and Jim Thome have had remarkably similar careers. This weekend both hooked up for a possible playoff matchup. My question which is which player would you rather have up with the game on the line and the bases loaded with no outs?

Thomas is the hotter hiter right now and if I'm not mistaken, Thome has been stuck on 39 homers for a while. Thomas also seems to be more of a mistake hitter whereas Thome will expand his zone a bit(Although he does have many walks, he strikes out just as much or more). Thomas has the ability to hit any pitch hard and out of the ballpark.
