Not trying to spark a huge baseball debate, but if someone who got into the Hall when compared to an outlier is very similar in stats, then, in my mind, they shouldn't be in the hall. Players going in should have a stat line that puts distance between them and the field of guys on the cusp, or should at the very least been the iconic embodiment of the position they played during the era in which they played. To me, that is the only way that Edgar gets in as a DH, because stat wise, he is in the category of players that normally wouldn't. |

Edgar's on base percentage was a huge 80 points higher. And his slugging percentage was 40+ points higher.

Edgar was a 7x All Star, 5x Silver Slugger, and won the batting title twice Cobra was a 7x All Star, 3x Silver Slugger, and won the batting title twice... He also was an MVP, went to 2 World Series, was an All Star game MVP, and he was 3x Gold Glove Winner I'm just saying, they are both great players, I just don't see the a huge difference between the two to make one Hall worthy and the other not. |

How so? I have found it a pretty reliable site for rating players.

Their similar counting stats were accrued with a difference of around 2000 plate appearances or almost 4 seasons less. That's a MASSIVE difference in impact. The only category in which Parker was superior per plate appearance was triples. By that logic Sandy Koufax and Dizzy Dean aren't HOF'ers because their counting numbers don't add up.

I'm the crazy guy yelling in the street, a roll I am very familiar with. I am sure Edgar is a worthy addition, I just hate the thought of the HoF becoming the equivalent of a Participation Trophy, damn kids and their "everyone's a winner," approach to life.... |
