Are there more current/unelected HOF'ers

All you have to do is answer "Who won the 2003 world series"

[HoustonGM]

Adam Dunn has 5 consecutive seasons of 40+ home runs and a .360+ on-base percentage. Yes, he absolutely deserves to be playing baseball.

[RedsoxRockies]

And I won that being absolutely ignorant of baseball, right?

You likely played against casual fans

[HoustonGM]

Oh, and throughout his career Juan Pierre gets out in 66.4% of his plate appearances. Adam Dunn, on the other hand, only gets out in 61.9% of his plate appearances. So go ahead and tell me who makes more outs.

Or, another way to state it...

Juan Pierre has 890 more plate appearances than Adam Dunn, and has made 911 more outs.

And that's how I won an MLB trivia game at All Star FanFest last summer, right?

Wow, a trivia game against a bunch of 12 year olds? I'm impressed.

Metsguy: That is easy.. Not the Marlins, they did not deserve it... Not the Yankees, they bought there way too it.... Must be the Mets, because I like them!

So... HR are all that matters now? You were criticizing me for using HR at all in my Finley vs. Edmonds argument, and now you're championing them as a statistic?

[wahoosamC]

You do not know Metsguy then. Read his rant against players over 35, it is very infamous

No surprise, I've yet to see him say on intelligent thing in any thread.

[HoustonGM]

Metsguy, there is more to baseball than striking out and batting average. It's absolutely astonishing that you flat-out ignore everything else (except, of course, when it suits your argument).

Actually, against the wife of a minor league umpire.

No, home runs are not all that matters. They are part of what matters, and Adam Dunn is an excellent home run hitter. He is also excellent at getting on base. The two most important factors of offense are getting on base and hitting for power. Adam Dunn does both excellently. He is a very productive hitter.

Marlon Anderson and Juan Pierre, on the other hand, have little or no semblance of power, and are not good at getting on base. They are the opposite of "productive hitter."

So, I bet you there are wives of players who don't know anything.

Heck there are PLAYERS who don't know what is happening (Donovon McNabb)

And, I actually made a thread once where I said I was wrong about that and other things.

Career OPS+ of 130, certainly would be one of the best hitters on your Mets.

It is hilarious. He claimed that all players over 35 sucked, and were not good enough to play baseball
