Nobody is a bigger Braves fan than I, BUT, Murph's career just fell off too quickly.

Garvey has the problem of playing a position of power and not bringing much to the table. If we just look at 1b WAR since 1945,Garvey falls 40th (behind guys like McGriff, Texiera, Will Clark, Mark Grace and Giambi)

Both of their counting stats and metrics fall below guys like Raines Raines is one of the top lead off men of all time. 66.4 WAR career, (more than Murph or Garvey) 808 stolen bases too! I think voters have punished him too much for having the bad luck to play at the same time as Henderson.

That being said, I think next year's ballot gets he and Bagwell in.
