    Looking at Ronnie's numbers and considering the pitching dominated era in which he played, it's a complete travesty he isn't in. OPS+ normalizes stats for park and league effects (in other words, it gives a decent basis of comparison across generations). I completely agree with you on Ronnie, but Jeff Kent has an equal OPS+ over a longer career and at a position where offense is more of a premium, although with average to below average defense. with everything in the balance, it's pretty hard to say Santo should be in, then turn around and say Kent shouldn't be. Good point. Looking again at their stats, they are nearly identical at this point: Santo: 342 HR, 2254 hits, 125 OPS Kent: 354 HR, 2247 hits, 125 OPS I'm not a stat head, so maybe you can explain to me how OPS gives equivalence between their ERA's. Santo absolutely played in a less powerful era and hitter friendly era. I don't know, Kent's numbers for a player who played in this era just don't scream HOF at me. But 342 homers for a person who played in the 60's does scream HOF. Ronnie also was a much more slick fielder.

    I personally think he should get in. Career .300 hitter, 2700 hits, near 500 sb's, GREAT glove. As for the voters, he might not because he's an ass and the spitting incident. No. 2200 hits in 16 seasons is puny in this era for an "offensive force". He's only got 350 hr too. As for the voters, he IS an ass, so it's unlikely they'll put him. Personally, I think a person's character shouldn't be a negative, but can be a positive, if that makes any sense. If Morgan is in, then Whitaker should too. He played 3 less seasons than Morgan did and only has about 150 hits and 24 homers less than Joe, and his career BA is higher. Morgan does have a substantially higher OPS though.

    A truly "butters-esque" comment.

    Holy crap how'd I forget Charlie Gehringer. I'm a Ty Cobb junkie and I forgot Gehringer who was a protege of Cobb's in the late 20's when Cobb was player-manager of the Tigers. I'll concede that point. The Koufax example was a good one. Robinson's stats if inflated to a 17-19 year career would be among the best ever based purely on statistics. He was a great player, especially considering the crap he had to put up with.

    Say what? How? He's signing autographs at Jamie's Field of Dreams out near the mall. When?? I've got my Saints hat in the car. I might head over there. It's at 6:30. It's $20 for the autograph. It's not a free signing. They had a deal where if you bought an authentic jersey, you could get the auto for free, so I did that. You might want to call ahead to make sure they still have auto tickets available. He's only supposed to stay 2 hours. How much was the jersey. I'm right next to the mall at Marriot...I've wanted to buy a Colston jersey for a while now. $120. It's the authentic one with all the patches and the stiched numbers. It's pretty sweet. Damn. That's too expensive. Since the Saints camp is in Jackson I'm gonna take (use) my nephew there to try and get my Reggie Bush and/or Drew Brees jersey signed. I've already got a framed Deuce jersey, but it's a Rebels one.

    I don't know, but he's plummeting toward DLee pre-2005 status, and that ain't good. Eh, Derrek was a pretty excellent player pre-2005. Eh, not even close. ya, it's night and day. He went from Torri Hunter numbers to Pujols numbers.

    What the hell is wrong with Derrek. He shoulda clobbered that.

    I've been. The skanky ho's with daddy issues pull that stuff, not most others. I'm at the beach every weekend in one of the most morally casual places in the country. That stuff doesn't just happen all the time. It only happens with skanks. I guess my friends are skanks then. Those are friends? I thought they were groupies. did you know that SEC groupies are the same level as AA groupies? Now THAT is an area where the SEC trumps AA and probably even AAA. At a large school where baseball is the only sport worth a damn and the girls at said school willingly admit they are looking to attain an "MRS" degree, there's lots of "diamond girls". No Goony, as much as it'll no doubt pain you to hear, I never had groupies. A) I wasn't a star player, and B) I was with "old what's her face" back then.

    Hmmm.... 1) Eddie Collins 2) Ryno 3) Rogers Hornsby 4) Napoleon Lajoie 5) Biggio or ....hate to say it Joe Morgan black Americans might take issue with someone missing from that list, as might fans of the Detroit Tigers. Yankee fans might also, but who really gives a rat's tail about them. Dang, you're on to my covert racism....thus why I didn't have Joe Morgan higher. :) Jackie Robinson was a great player but the numbers aren't even close to him being a top 5 great at that position compared to the others I listed. I understand he lost years to the war and a few years in the Negro leagues, but calculating that into an equation just doesn't work. Otherwise we'd still have Ty Cobb as the all time hit leader due to his years lost in WWI or with Ted Williams being top 3 in homers if he hadn't lost years in WWII and Korea. By the Tiger I assume you mean Whitaker, who'd I'd have in the top 10, but he's not better than Collins, Lajoie, Hornsby, Ryno, or Morgan. The Yankee I'd take you to be talking about Lazerri? He didn't even have 2000 hits in 14 seasons.

    Wait. What? Hahaha. I guess neither of you have been to Destin, Cancun, Gulf Shores, etc. Otherwise you'd know what I was talking about.
