Article: Puckett and the Hall -- Yes, Again
Schoenke replied to dwintheiser's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
The problem with using WAR for Puckett is is for fielding before advanced stats were on the scene. Do we really think Kirby was a negative WAR outfielder? Check out his career and how his fielding WAR varies. Isn't fielding supposed to be the most consistent aspect of a player? I'm just not ready to invest too heavily in historical metrics for fielding before Pitch f/x came along .. and that's where Kirby's WAR is hurt compared to modern players. -

Sure the Tigers are the chalk, but I think this will be pretty wide open .. kind of like 2008. And except for 2010, the Twins have always seemed to outperform low expectations and underperform high expectations. That's the non-Sabrmetericall reason for hope. FYI, love these forums .. hopefully a return of DTFC from back in its heyday.
