| As a player, I'd probably take Klesko by a slim margin. Their numbers are astoundingly similar, other than the fact that Bonilla played just a little longer. With that being the case, to me it comes down to who you'd want on your team. In that category, it's Klesko by a landslide. Bonilla was a notorious d-bag.

| Bonilla is still being paid every year from 2011-2035 by the Mets up to a total of 30 million.
So, he wins. |

| I want to say Klesko, but...
Klesko never finished in the top five twice for MVP voting.

| Gotta give this one to Bonilla. The braves took everything from the pirates in the 90s. Can't take this one as well.  | |

| Bonilla at his best was far better than Klesko at his best. I haven't looked their career numbers up, but Klesko was a guy who underachieved to the point where the career he did end up having was sort of a pleasant surprise. Bonilla was one of the best hitters in the league, at least for a little while, but then he cratered in his early 30s. This one's not close to me. | |

| Bonilla was the better player but a major douche. That's why I chose Klesko | |
