Wagner fares better than Rodriguez in the modern metrics (like WAR, OPS+), even with them being designed around the modern game. Also, he wasn’t on performance enhancing drugs his whole career. I have a hard time taking Rodriguez over him when his drug adjusted totals are pretty close but not even better than Wagner who did it honestly.
If you put Rodriguez at 3B he probably comes out #1 if you ignore the steroids.
I see why one would pick him, but I don’t see why it’s surprising others don’t.
