10th best Wins Above Replacement for center fielders.

ALL TIME.

Advanced baseball stat that accounts for offense, defense, base running etc.

I know what WAR means, you just didn't say it was based on centerfielders in your opening post.

It was a bit misleading.

Jeter was very fortunate to play with the Yankees he never even wouid of got a chance with another team or would've just been an unknown type player

He was surrounded by unreal talent

#2 banged the most 10* chicks ever

Yankees are easier to get in HOF than players having similar stats playing for no big name teams like Indians.

Bar been set way too high for Lofton's numbers, He'd prob make a Hall of Pretty Good if there was one.

Jeter would have had to wait as long as Biggio did if he had been drafted by the Astros.

Because it's a sports/gambling forum?

Again, to those who say Lofton was not quite good enough for the Hall, he's statistically the 10th best center fielder ever.

The 10th best center fielder ever won't get into the Hall Of Fame but Jeter will go in on the first ballot. That just ain't right.

yet he was the the yankee who was doing all the big things at the biggest stage.

WAR is a garbage stat and Jeter is probably the most over-rated player in the history of the game.

Does Lofton have herpes too?

TheLock · 08-07-15, 12:43 PM

For those that don't like WAR:

Jeter's career wOBA (weighted On Base Average): .360

Lofton: .352

One guy will go into the Hall first ballot. The other will never get in.
