vizquel's offensive numbers are as much a result of longevity as being particularly good

Being decent for a long period of time does have value. Whether Vizquel could be considered a decent hitter for that time is up for debate I guess.

i have a tough time using 3000 hits (for example) as a standard for induction if it took the player 22 years and 10,000 at bats to get there

that's still a .300 batting average.

true, but why is 3000/10,000 somehow better than 2,500/8,333?

Why is 200/600 somehow better than 1/3?
