[QUOTE="wpr, post: 1492647, member: 4159"] Dwight Evans, Steve Garvey, Tommy John, Don Mattingly, Marvin Miller, Thurman Munson, Dale Murphy, Dave Parker, Ted Simmons and Lou Whitaker are candidates for the Hall of Fame. The 16-member Modern Baseball Era Committee will vote on them with the results released at the Dec 8 at the Baseball Winter Meetings in San Diego. I can't imagine Marv Miller not being in the Hall. He had a profound effect on the game. For good or ill, his handling of the players union was masterful. Several others have a pretty good shot of making it as well. The only one I am familiar with is Ted Simmons. Based on the other catchers who are currently enshrined he belongs as well. Looking at the various stats: averages: 8 have a higher career average and 6 a lower average. OBP: 10 and 4 Slugging: 11/3 Hits: 0/14 Doubles: 0/14 Home runs: 5/9 Rbi: 1/13 Runs 3/11 The worst catcher in the Hall played in the Dead Ball Era so it's hard to compare but Ray Schalk has a slash line of .253/.340/.316 Compare these: .262/.335/.439/ 2092 hits/ 371 doubles/ 324 hr/ 1225 rbi/ 1025 runs 19 years .269/.343/.457/ 2356 hits/ 421 doubles/ 376 hr/ 1330 rbi/ 1276 runs 24 years .285/.348/.437/ 2472 hits/ 483 doubles/ 248 hr/ 1389 rbi/ 1074 runs 21 years They all played in the same era. Roughly the 70-80's. Gary Carter Carlton Fisk Ted Simmons [/QUOTE]
