And it's that last part that makes the whole thing so comical.

Responses:

Vlad was 2nd ballot. Every thing you mention there is averages; not definite production. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:25 14
- He's #42 in career OPS+, the best qualitative measure in determining a hitter's impact. - David Jan 25, 09:27 13
  - Thome did not get in for his OPS+ number, he got in for 612 - groiny Jan 25, 09:29 12
    - Even so, Edgar and him had the same overall impact for each plate appearance. - David Jan 25, 09:31 11
      - and in retrospect, you can blame the PED's for Edgar's numbers not looking as good. - groiny Jan 25, 09:36 7
        
        McGriff's starting to get more attention for that very reason. Larry Walker, too. -- nm - David Jan 25, 09:37 6
        
        I loved Larry Walker, but Colorado will always hurt him. -- nm - groiny Jan 25, 09:39 5
        
        That’s certainly his problem right now. -- nm - David Jan 25, 09:44 4
        
        his numbers in Montreal were decent enough, but Col just took it to a whole new level. - groiny Jan 25, 09:45 3
        
        Then they should also note his away game splits during that time which hold up strong. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 25, 09:46 2
        
        His Coors Field OPS is 1.172; his career is .965. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:50 1
        
        He hit .278 on the road in his career. Higher than 33 other Hall entrants and higher than guys like Griffey and Jackson. -- (link) - Name Withheld by Request Jan 25, 10:03
      - except Thome did it for longer. - groiny Jan 25, 09:33 2
        
        Thome's a better candidate, but if he's in, Edgar has the numbers, too. - David Jan 25, 09:36 1
        
        honestly, Edgar was always the best hitter no one knew. -- nm - groiny Jan 25, 09:37
and Vlad played the field for at least 3/4 of his career. - groiny Jan 25, 09:24
Vlad did not get in first ballot. -- nm - groiny Jan 25, 09:23 1
- Fine, second ballot. He had 92.9% of the vote. Everybody knows he deserved a spot. - David Jan 25, 09:25
