  1. Bert's numbers went up because people got smarter about baseball and as people learn (if they are open to learning) minds can be changed, For some reason, he doesn't want to acknowledge that is the reason, but if it wasn't for the SABR people he and so many seem to despise, including him, he wouldn't have made it.
  2. yeah, here’s a guy who finished in the top 10 in ERA+ 11 times in a 17 year span ’92-’08. 7 of those 11 times, he was top 5. All this while pitching in the AL East against the best offenses in the game.
  3. I agree with most of that. Not the dominance part in regards to Morris, or Oliva being deserving, but overall I agree we want it to be the Hall of Fame. Problem is, everyone has their view on where the line of very good and great meet. Mussina, IMO, belongs. I don't even care about the Wins/Loss stat for pitcher, so, for me, it has nothing at all to do with that.
  4. Mauer had an off year for sure, but his OBP is normally very high and the last thing you want is that kind of OBP buried down in the lineup. The guys that get on base the most should be the ones that have the most plate appearances. Not only that, but he normally hits very well with RISP. And the idea that he hits into way too many double plays, well that's not really true based on amount of opportunities he comes to the plate in those situations. Nor is it a lot based on overall times batting into a DP.
  5. Schilling ERA+ 127, his WAR 83.2 Mussina's ERA+ 123 (exclusively in the AL...and not only that, the AL East), his WAR 82.5 Smoltz ERA+ 125, his WAR 78.7 Glavine's ERA+ 118, his WAR 64.3 Morris ERA+ 105, his WAR 52.5
