Guys,

Shoeless Joe played for 13 years, if you doubled the number of years and doubled the number of hits, Joe would have still only gotten approximately 3,400 hits. Which is still almost a 1000 hits short of Pete's career total.

There's no doubt in my mind that I would rather have Pete batting lead-off. But Shoeless Joe would be a much better No. 3 hitter than Pete Rose.
