This is a good exercise. As I scanned this list, I'd think "This guys were great, but.." and they would all have some flaw. And I wonder if that's because we've seen all these players and we know so much more about them that we did from the guys from the earlier times. The heroes from the 1950s and 1960s had flaws, too, but I didn't see them. I picked Griffey, but he certainly had those years with the Reds with the nagging injuries. Albert Pujols' final stats are incredible, but I think about those years with the Angels where he was mortal. It's tough for me to pick an active player because those books are still open.
