Re: Greatest 3rd Baseman, etc.
baseball, it looks as though you computed incorrectly, you reposted Raines's career stats, instead of his prime numbers. It isn't arbritrary, it is his prime, like now has been Ichiro's prime. When Ichiro retires, then you can do a career study. Don't forget to take the era into account either. I don't feel like computing,… -
Re: Greatest 3rd Baseman, etc.
Have you really tried out this Secondary Average formula? This formula is extremely flawed. If you are not a power hitter you have a bad secondary average.

Boggs is somewhat overrated, Gwynn is significantly overrated; they both were much better than Dave Kingman - secondary… -
