80's/90's players and especially 3rd-basemen are vastly underrepresented. Rolan's statistically one of the best dozen to play the game. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 25, 09:40 4
- I can't get to the numbers from work, but how long did he play at a high level? - groiny Jan 25, 09:41 3
  - 14-15 years -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:43 2
    - that seems longer than I remember. -- nm - groiny Jan 25, 09:44 1
      - He had a couple weak years in the middle, but he was putting up OPS+ seasons of 125 or more 14-15 years apart -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:46
Andruw's 105 all-time in WAR. He should get in. -- nm - David Jan 25, 09:32 4
- you know quite of these writers don't believe in WAR? -- nm - groiny Jan 25, 09:34 3
  - Sure, that's the problem. It doesn't help that Andruw was so naturally gifted that the perception was that he coasted. - David Jan 25, 09:35 2
    - And was finished by 31 years old -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:39
    - I am sure many remember Bobby Cox pulling him from a game for it. -- nm - groiny Jan 25, 09:36
