WAR and the HOF
Whatever you guys think about the WAR stat for position players, go to baseball-reference and check out the top 100 WAR list for position players. For the most part, it's a "who's who" of the greatest players ever. Dahlen is ranked 46th.
The names that don't belong in the top 100 greatest of all time, but appear on the top 100 WAR list to me, are Chipper Jones #32, Bobby Grich #61, Buddy Bell #91, and Chase Utley #96. I still have no problem with those guys as HOF'ers. I like how the NBA does it. Let 'em all in...Maris, Mattingly, Colovito, Murphy, Parker, etc...
I hope Dahlen makes it. I will be stocking up on his cards, not to sell, just for fun...Rob
