He's not Mantle because the pinstripes and the rings made Mantle
He's not Griffey for the reasons above
He's not Pujols because he'll never sniff those numbers
He's a great player. 1st ballot HOFer. Top 50 all time. Maybe top 25-30 if he can actually finish his career. But he fell off the top tier all-time great level years ago.

Trout is already better than Griffey irrespective of how many posters are in kids rooms....
