What post did I say this in? I said Hernandez is very similar to John Olerud. Go look at their numbers (WAR, OPS+, defense value, etc. etc.) and tell me that is untrue. This is a true statement. I never said anything about the floodgates or that he would lower the standard much if he was let in? Where was this or something to that affect? I love to say this? Where?

The post you quoted has me saying I would not vote for Mattingly and do not think him a good candidate. I am not making any case for him whatsoever? I would not vote for him, a short peak like his is not HOF tier as it generally has not been treated as such by the Hall.

I said in reference to this "that doesn't make it true and that doesn't mean either or both is HOF deserving", so I agree.
