Omar Omar Vizquel is on paul's ballot. You know
, who else is? Andrew jones. You also
got manny on there. Sheffield Pettitte steroid guys.
But no a Rod paul, what's up with that
? It's a smile ability factor to our they character
guys, Manny makes everybody smile so that's an edge
that he has. But there are numbers that back
my picks to Manny Ramirez five times at home over
40 times in a year career. Obp 4 11
, that's much those. That number is much higher
than a Rod's career. 555 home runs, postseason
success is there across the board, strikeout rate.
This is another one separator. He's got a strikeout
rate of 18.5% Sheffield 10.6. The strikeout rate.
Another guy with 500 plus homers, 202 92 batting
average. 3 93 on base percentage. The on
base percentages is a key distinguishing factor for me to
a Rod's career was a 3 80. So that's
a significant difference over of a career plus the strikeout
rate plus the character issues. So those were separators
for me putting Ramirez and Sheffield in and keeping a
Rod out. And then Andy Pettitte is another guy
that I'm surprised that doesn't get more love this guy
had a 6 26 win percentage in his career,
19 and 11 in the post season when he was
facing the aces, arguably every other staff that he
was confronting in the postseason over over six innings a
start in his career while even better in the postseason
. So a guy who raised his level in the
postseason from a pretty stellar regular season career, easy
pick for me then the other guys, you know
, you talk about Andrew jones. Yeah, we
got you guys covered the fact that he was pretty
stellar himself for a 10 10 pack of season in
a row. 9 90 fielding percentage along with the
7 30 homer seasons. 4 34 home runs overall
. The big R. B. I. Total
, Todd Helton, similar case 3 16 batting average
. We know he did most of that in the
mile high situation for 14 obp. Also significant along
with a great fielding percentage himself. Pretty good defensive
player along with the offensive metrics, bobby abreu another
guy. Lots of good numbers across the board stolen
bases as well as the power numbers and uh rare
combination there 400 stolen bases and and all the power
that he showed in his career, Jeff Kent did
it on both sides of the ball, a middle
infielder for the 9 80 fielding and all those offensive
numbers. Fantastic. And you got to show some
love for the fielding. Aces in the game.
Omar Vizquel maybe only taught by a couple of guys
throughout his career. 9 85% percentage in the infield
. That's remarkable. So uh that's the case that
I made for my guys and I had trouble getting
more than eight guys in the in the loop because
there was some failure in, in a couple of
situations that I valued in in the other situations.
