He never got the attention he deserved, in my opinion. Slightly different skillset than Cabrera or Pujols -- walked more than he struck out, better career on-base numbers than all but ~15 guys. Power, sure, but a bit more discipline, especially compared to Cabrera. Unfortunately only had one really good season after he turned 32 (and his might be a career to pay attention to when trying to figure out what Pujols and Cabrera are going to do with their 32-40 years). I'm in the camp that puts little to no stock in batting titles or batting average in general. Too much generational change, too many external factors. I would give Thomas the edge over Cabrera (and Pujols, when it comes to hitting) for quite a few years yet. It'll depend how well they finish out their careers.
