That's it. So if your pitching staff strikes out lots of batters, your fielders will have lower range factors... except for the catcher. |

A whole bunch of you guys think too much...
The game has been played for 150 years (give or take) There have been 20,000 people involved (give or take) There are 300 members of the Hall (give or take) That seems like a pretty select group. People in general can't agree on anything. Every day I see three cars at a four way stop have a hard time figuring out who should go next, so of course there are going to be some hits & misses with the exact selections to the best HOF of them all. I'll let somebody else figure out the percentage of players in the football, basketball & hockey halls. I would would guess that each of them has more than baseball, proportionately.

Why not? You think a guy who hit .267 while averaging 15 homers but with no gold gloves would get even a sniff at the HOF? Of course not. So, yeah, he belongs on that list.

OPS+ 104. That is not a hofer without his elite defensive.

he did have 6 seasons with 20 plus HR nd 7 seasons with 80 plus RBI including two over 100 that's not bad for a third baseman just seemed to me in a different category than aparicio etc.

And, while I'm not the biggest fan of WAR, it's a good quick-reference starting place, and there's no way Paul Konerko and his 27.6 career WAR even sniff the Hall. A 5.0 WAR or higher is considered an All Star season. Konerko's best seasons were a 4.7 (2010), a 4.0 (2005), and then a 2.9 (2006). Yes, his defense was terrible (career -18.9 dWAR), but his offense wasn't all that hot, either (career 32.6 oWAR). His numbers are clearly inflated by the era he played in. Beyond WAR, he never led the league in any major statistic. He never won a Silver Slugger. He placed in the top 10 of MVP voting twice in a 17 year career. JAWS has him as the 86th ranked first baseman of all-time. Pass. And what's the "spare the Colorado crap" mean, that we should ignore the incredible boost hitters get at Coors? In his MVP season of 1997, Larry Walker's splits were pretty even. But they started to veer off into the abyss after that. In 1998, he won the NL batting title hitting .363. He hit .418 at home, and .300 on the road. In 1998, he again won the NL batting title, hitting .379. At Coors Field, he hit .461 with 26 HR and 71 RBI. His slash line was .531/.879/1.410. Everywhere else, he hit .286 with 11 HR and 45 RBI. His slash was .375/.519/.894. Yes, let's overlook that 516 point OPS disparity. ![]() In 2001, Walker again won the NL batting title, hitting .350. At Coors Field, he hit .406. Everywhere else, he hit .293. It's like whenever anybody says "oh, Carlos Gonzalez is one of the best hitters in the game!" Hmm. In 2015, his splits: At Coors, .293 AVG, 24 HR, 61 RBI, .355/.617/.972. Everywhere else, .243 AVG, 16 HR, 36 RBI, ..294/.464/.758 Please.

Coors is an aid, but the road splits determine if someone is merely a product of Coors or not.
