Why are we even talking about Mattingly when Keith is on the outside looking in?

Has a better Jaws and War than Mattingly and a slightly higher Career OPS Plus. I like Mattingly but what would his power numbers be in NL with on DH and n Busch and Shea as home field? Fielding? Mattingly would have never had won a Gold Glove if he was in the same league as Hernandez. Career Defensive Runs saved Mattingly - 31. Hernandez? 211. The Cocaine issue should be behind him now that Raines, Molitor and Parker are in.
