Where does this player rank in terms of career and dominance?

Bill Dick is quite possibly the greatest player I've seen in my OOTP universe. I've had other players with higher career WAR and more awards, but I'm not sure I've seen such a dominant (fictional, at least) player over a 10-15 year span. 6 years in a row he led the Majors in slugging percentage and OPS (7/8 years). He consistently hits for power AND average while also showing the ability to steal bases when he wants to. 450 home runs, 1522 RBI's, 2759 hits all before his 36th birthday. 5 straight MVP's, 11 Silver Slugger's (all 3 outfield positions), 13 All-Star appearances, and a Gold Glove at RF. He has shown clutch ability as well, with 8 career walk-off home runs. Only thing missing is a ring..

Anyways, he just signed a 2 year deal with the Royals, and I think he can play 4-5 more seasons if he wants to. He isn't the same player since fracturing his hip, but he's still a pretty good player. I'm really hoping he wins the big one before it's all said and done.

Where do you guys rank him considering the era (modern league based on 2011 totals) in comparison to the real all-time greats? He's obviously a first ballot HOFer (look at those HOF metrics), but just HOW dominant has Dick been compared to others? Keep in mind his career isn't over yet, but he's nearing the end of the road. Any feedback appreciated.

One of the reason's I love OOTP. My league feels real to me, and I've loved every minute of following his career. Feels like a real legend to me.

The amount of guys in history with career OPS of about a thousand is really small.

1. Babe Ruth+ (22) 1.1636 L
2. Ted Williams+ (19) 1.1155 L
3. Lou Gehrig+ (17) 1.0798 L
4. Barry Bonds (22) 1.0512 L
5. Jimmie Foxx+ (20) 1.0376 R
6. Hank Greenberg+ (13) 1.0169 R
7. Rogers Hornsby+ (23) 1.0103 R
8. Manny Ramirez (19) .9960 R

McGwire and Mantle are next lower than this guy's.

Barring another injury, he's going to rack up eye-popping counting stat numbers. 3200 hits, 500 HR, and 2000 runs scored are on the horizon.
