Pete Rose played 24 seasons so seven seasons leading the NL in doubles is not a strong argument. It's the same thing as saying Don Mattingly should be a HoFer because he had 7 great seasons. Lance Berkman is 15th, Ryan Braun is 17th, and Roy White is 22nd in LF WAR7 and they're not HoFers. It's a weak argument.
He should be.
I don't know if I've ever seen something like that.
So can we talk about Durran and Rafaella having the same stat line? Time to call up Anthony in let those two battle for a spot.
Move Campbell to 1st, call up Mayer.
I mean he’s also a 10 time gold glover with 509 SB lol. 60 WAR.Good post. I stand corrected. Ichiro is a HoFer and he's not top 1000 in SLG%. I don't consider him HoF worthy either.
And Honest Pete wouldn't lie.In Pete's defense, he says he thought she was 16, so that makes it somehow better.
Dale Murphy too.....I think both those guys should be in. Both of them really suffered from injuries later in their career and I'm sure that impacted the vote. That fact that those 2 aren't in, doesn't bode well for Pedroia either.Agreed. Mattingly was baseball in the 80's
