Re: Ken Boyer... Cardinal great... Should he be in Cooperstown?
Just to kick a dead horse, because putting players like Gil Hodges in the HOF can't be condemned too harshly or too frequently, here's another perspective. Gil Hodges was on a great team that won 2 World Series. He had 4 HOF teammates other than pitchers: the #8 CF (using JAWS), the #17 catcher, the #10 2B, and the #16 SS.… -

Re: Quality of Negro Leagues
This was actually a fun exercise. I did take the time to look it up, which was actually a fun exercise. What I found was quite interesting, as those that reported those numbers didn't tell the whole story. Comparing their MLB vs. NL numbers, I show: Junior Gilliam (not really enough stats in NL to really compare): G PA AB… -
Re: Joe Carter ~ does he eventually get into the MLB HOF?
I don't think we're far apart here, but I'll add a few clarifications: Cepeda did play longer, at the same or slightly higher level; as I said, it's not a big difference, but it can't be thrown out. I'm not dinging Edmonds - and it is just a ding - for not winning an MVP, but for not deserving one. Yes, he had some stiff… -
Re: I Hate eBay Auctions with "No Reserve" in the Title when...
So, there are at 2 types of auctions; 1) Those with a reserve...seller gets info on bidders & what they were willing to pay. Whether or not they sell the item at or above the reserve, they can contact other bidders & sell outside of eBay, whether it be the item on eBay (if reserve was not met) or they have similar items to… -
Re: David wright article..
Anyone else get the feeling that this guy has a very limited knowledge of how the HOF works? He states Dick Allen should be a HOFer, Pujols will be a HOFer, and Wright will be as well. Now Dick Allen was a very good ball player, but only had 5 or 6 decent seasons. Pujols has only 5 seasons under his belt, and last I… -
Re: What happened to Jim Rice at the end of his career?
I apologize for being wrong. Robin Yount, as explained so clearly to me twice now, was exactly average for 1/3 of his career, and in fact above average, when compared to other SS, who apparently were all well below average at the time. And his HOF credentials keep coming and coming... As for the use of statistics, I…
