Some stiffer competition on this list. McGriff was a pretty good player in his day. Olerud was one of the best all-around hitters I've ever seen on the Jays and his swing was a thing of beauty.
But Delgado was a legend. The guy single handedly carried the team offensively for many, many years. Kind of the same way that Halladay carried the pitching staff. He wasn't terrible with the glove either. Prototypical 1st baseman. That being said, he played a LOT of DH too.
Nobody has been even close since. Encarnacion has played ok at 1st, but he's quickly becoming a DH only.
