In response to "Thome did not get in for his OPS+ number, he got in for 612" by groiny

Even so, Edgar and him had the same overall impact for each plate appearance.

One just got 89.8% of the vote. The other was 20 points lower. It goes back to the crux of the conversation. Less informed voters like nice round numbers, not challenging metrics about overall level of dominance.

Responses:

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
