Counting only players who were elected primarily for their contributions as players, elected for their talent as players (not players like Cummings who made it primarily because he was credited with inventing the curve), and elected for their performance in a league for which their is a reasonable statistical basis for objective analysis. I am also considering that many of the "worst" are labelled as such because their offensive stats are weak, but they were elected primarily for their defense.
SP: Jesse Haines SP: Rube Marquard SP: Catfish Hunter SP: Jack Morris RP: Bruce Sutter C: Rick Ferrell 1B: George Kelly 2B: Joe Gordon 3B: Fred Lindstrom SS: Travis Jackson LF: Chick Hafey CF: Lloyd Waner RF: Ross Youngs DH: Harold Baines As a counter, the best player at each who is not in the Hall of Fame, not on the active ballot, and is not excluded for his cheating/gross misconduct (Jackson/Rose/Steroids): SP: Jim McCormick SP: Bob Caruthers SP: Billy Pierce SP: Kevin Brown RP: John Franco, no real snubs, too many in. RP: Dan Quisenberry C: Jorge Posada, no real snubs 1B: Gil Hodges counting some points for the 68 Mets; Will Clark, Fred McGriff or Mattingly otherwise 2B: Grich or Whitaker, but suspect it will end up being Kent. No real snubs. 3B: Ken Boyer SS: Bill Dahlen LF: Minnie Minoso CF: Kenny Lofton RF: Bobby Abreu, no one has really been snubbed here. On the whole, they have done well with starting pitchers. I think the best non-HOFers are easily better than the worst HOF team. |
