That is not only a HOFer, but a tier 1 all time talent.

Don't get too hung up on batting average. Luis Arraez has led the league in hitting the last three seasons but I don't think anyone considers him a generational talent.

Yup. People getting carried away with old-timey thoughts about Arraez to. "A throw back", "A real hitter", "How a hitter should always be". Don't get me wrong. He's a nice little player. "Professional Hitter" as they say....but he's Ralph Garr 2.0. Mid-career Ichiro without the speed or defense. That's about it.
