#3Thank you.
Somebody here knows an unrecognized great player. It's too bad his bad back halted his career but he is still equal to Puckett. But Kirby got a World Series title. Mattingly played in a Series payoff once. Playing on bad Yankee teams doesn't go well with the press writers.Comment -

#6Guys
When Kirbys career ended- cut short by a ball to the face, he had the 2nd highest career BA (.319) of any AL right handed batter, behind only Joe DiMaggio.
You cannot compare Kirby to Mattingly. Donnie baseball is a second teir player.Comment -

#9Voter boycott has kept Schilling out. Joke that Schilling isn't in yet.
This could be a very thin year. No idea on the Veterans Committee. Anyone they're hot on?
Schilling IMHO will get in this year or next year. ARod and MannyRam won't as continued boycott of PED-connected players.
Two players that I'd HOPE the Vet Comm gets warm to: 1) Bobby Grich, 2) Lou Whitaker.
Grich, Whitaker, AND Schilling have very high WAR ratings. > 70 WAR for each, well above many players who are already in.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -

#10Let Mattingly win a WS as manager and put him in.
he was good for a span, not great.
he had lower rapes over replacement value vs Puckett for sure, so that helps
Mattingly also has kept his weight under 300 and avoided fatal strokes due to hypertension and never lost his eyesight due to Glaucoma
I like his chances, going forwardComment -

Who cares? HOF is disrespectful of the other players. Elected by idiot sportswriters who could never evaluate and compare talent as a manager. Absolutely, no clue about defensive abilities and can only read stats!

#15You cannot compare Mattingly to Puckett? I just did. Not only did Mattingly win 9 GG he happened to be in NY at the same time as Keith Hernandez who won 11. Again making him not look so good. Kirby won 6 GG. Don Mattingly's career ended with a bad back.Comment -

#17Keith Hernandez was better defensively, better offensively, longer career, and did more in the postseason than Mattingly. Yet Hernandez is not in the Hall-of-Fame, never even above 10% of the vote of the sports writers. That makes it completely clear that Mattingly did not even come close to standards of the Hall-of-Fame and is clearly not deserving.Comment -

#18A brief analysis if the McGriff, Hernandez, Mattingly, Puckett HOF debate. McGriff 19 yrs. 2490 hits, fielding % .992, 8985 PO, 1775 DP, 1447 assists, 1349 runs scored, 10 post season Series. Hernandez, 16 yrs. 2182 hits, fielding % .994, 17909 PO, 1682 assists, 1124 runs scored,5 post season Series. Mattingly 13 yrs. 2153 hits, fielding % .996, 14148 PO, 1104 assists, 1 post season Series. With Mattingly and Puckett being equal in numbers as stated above, then McGriff and Hernandez are better and Puckett and Mattingly are equal. I don't know why McGriff gets shunned but Hernandez snorting up the first base line might be hurting him.
Correction McGriff 18985 PO. Also add McGriff played 2460 games at 1B started 159 of 174 at DH. Hernandez played 2014 at 1B and 7 in OF. Mattingly played 1634 games at 1B, 75 at DH, 76 OF, 3 at 3B and 1 at 2B as a lefty so 155 no 1B.Comment -

#19Why St. Louis Cards traded Keith Hernandez..
I always wondered why St. Louis got rid of Hernandez but ...
Snorting up the 1st base line could be part of the reason. Or the reason he was gone.Last edited by Doublethink; 11-30-21, 03:34 PM.Comment -

1B Allen, Hernandez, McGwire and Palmerio
2B Grich, Kent and Whitaker
SS I guess Dahlen. Maybe Fregosi or Sewell if we are going with the past 100 years. Rodriguez will probably take over next month.
3B Darrell Evans, Nettles and Rolen
LF Bonds, Minoso and Ramirez
CF Edmonds, Andruw Jones and Reggie Smith
RF Dwight Evans and Sosa
I'm sure I missed some others. Mattingly doesn't come close and McGriff also falls short.Comment -

#24HOF is a bad joke. Election process is flawed. All this talk about stats is comparing apples to oranges. Defensive,running,throwing skills are way under valued!
Fans, owners, players, owners, managers are all biased.
Some kind of electoral board should pick.
Did the games count? Who cares if somebody was rude to a sportswriter or did not sign autographs?Comment -

Schilling non-admission is a joke. Why even have a vote? Schilling has one of the highest WARs and is not linked to PEDs/gambling.
2B/3B often get overlooked. Tough defensive positions. Solid two-way players like Grich/Whitaker/Nettles really should get a long look.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -

#26OK so here go with possible HOF candidates not in...
besides mentioned b4. Graig Nettles, nothing great. Dick Allen, controversial, rebellious. Dwight Evans, nothing special. Gene Tenace, nothing. Darrel Evans, shouldn't be in the conversation. Bill Freehan, Bobby Grich, NO. Lou Whitaker, Not even. Jeff Kent, possible. Scott Rolen, could be. Minnie Minoso, very borderline. Jim Edmonds, good numbers. Andrew Jones, maybe. Reggie smith, could be better. Dwight Evans, I don't think so. Vada Pinson, Al Oliver, looks good. Bill Buckner, possibly. Dave Parker, why not? Steve Garvey, looks good yes. Doc Cramer, good enough. Lane Cross, he should be in.Comment -

#27Double, go have another drink. You're off by a mile. Have another drink.
Garvey is one of only two 10x All-stars not in the HOF. Garvey had very strong wrists. But he wasn't a selective hitter, very low OBA.
Nettles was nothing special? Go watch the World Series high-lites, where he stole the show.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -

#29Double, the Baseball HOF induction process is flawed. It starts w/ the writers being historically poor voters.
Secondly, the Veterans Committee is biased. The Baines induction via his GM/Mgr/Teammate was a joke and lowered the bar.
Baseball is a great game for Individual stat analysis. Garvey has a lot to like, but his low OBA (.329) isn't good enuf for a 1st baseman:
Check out the latest Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Rookie Status & More of Steve Garvey. Get info about his position, age, height, weight, draft status, bats, throws, school and more on Baseball-reference.com
Nettles actually has a much higher WAR. Some of his statistics are similar to Garvey's. But he played a tougher defensive position, so his defensive contribution is much higher:

#31Of course I remember the play. Jackson luckily got away clean. But since we're talking Yanks I want to talk about Craig Nettles. I grew up a Yankee fan starting in the '60s. I really had no choice since my father was a die hard but OK I was in on it. He made some great plays and since I played 3rd base growing up he was fun to watch. I was a fan of him but he isn't a HOFr. When we were kids it was the guy's batting average, runs scored, RBI's and homers were what mattered. Today it is WAR. I really don't understand it but it is a highly used number. Can someone explain what the hell wins above replacement is about? It seems to make sense about numbers but I just don't get it.Comment -

#33Double, it's a more Modern view on Baseball stats. WAR tries to cut thru the historical view on stats, where certain Stat biases exist.
WAR stands for Wins Above Replacement. So, WAR attempts to determine a player's true value to his team. How many extra wins does he contribute, vs a low-end Major Leaguer who might replace him.
I think WAR has gained a good bit of traction in the Sabermetric community. It's pretty clear that Batting Average is historically over-valued as a stand-alone stat. I go back to the "Moneyball" about getting on base. Ergo, On-Base % is a much better stat than BA.
I have come to give great regard to disciplined hitters who work the count and wear pitchers out. Olerud/EdgarMart on the Seattle teams come to mind.
Defense and Performance relative to position are important. I'll reference another guy from your list above, Dwight Evans. Sabermetricians view DEvans as an excellent player. He's a classic case of the undervalued player who is now more appreciated. Evans walked a lot, which pushed his OBA up. Could really bat him anywhere in the Top/Middle of the lineup. And his defense was very good. In particular, his throwing arm was excellent. Teams eventually didn't try to run on him.
See my Garvey vs Nettles comparison. Garvey MOSTLY played 1b, except for some early days at 3b. Nettles MOSTLY played 3b. Garvey and Nettles each won Gold Gloves.
But 3b is CLEARLY a tougher position, so IMHO he has to be the better player. Third-basemen are in pretty short supply in the HOF. Arguably, the one position that demands Defensive prowess and expects power production (from the Corner IF/OF).Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
