PCRice could hit, for a time. But he has no Gold Gloves, and couldn't run -- several years with zero stolen bases.
In addition to his bat, Dawson had 8 consecutive Gold Gloves, and three years in the top 10 in the NL in stolen bases (with a bad knee).
I'm trying to see the logic as to why Rice, and why not Dawson, and I just don't get it. But then I don't have a vote, and there are other deserving guys who aren't in. But now that Rice is in, it appears that Dawson will make it in the next year or two.
