After the regular season he hit at least .350 in every round of the playoffs, helping the Yankees to their third World Series title in four years. In 1986, 1987, and 1989, he was exactly a .500 pitcher each year, once with an ERA+ of 90, once at 131, and once leading the league at 149.
Seriously, following through on that experiment, Smith would be a more valuable hitter than Roberto Clemente, Pete Rose, or Derek Jeter. If properly motivated, perhaps a coalition of 12 can be formed to get Hershiser a plaque. Considering the six who are only on one list or the other, we’re looking at Tom Seaver, Phil Niekro, Gaylord Perry, Fergie Jenkins, Jim Palmer and Luis Tiant against Ron Guidry, Orel Hershiser, Bob Welch, Jack Morris, and the #1 and #3 guys on this list. They cannot have had a season with an adjusted WAR of 8 or more. But again, we’re only looking at a nice pitcher; the other four I just mentioned are all easy HoMErs. 5 WAR seasons: 4 And if he were to do that, he’d jump up to #30 in my rankings, between Hal Newhouser and Bob Feller. He learned from Earl Weaver after all. This week’s lists won’t look too different from each other, but the lists next week were going to be a mess. And like most of the guys we’re about to talk about, the decline in games started and innings pitched leaves his looking underwhelming. The final two columns are all pitchers from 1980-1989 and all pitchers from 1981-1990, regardless of their inning totals. Baseball rebuilt its entire infrastructure during the Bud era. Sometime later I woke up, acted like the typical fool coming off of anesthesia, vomited a lot, and went home. Stop me if you heard these things before. From 1920 to 1933 (Rommel’s rookie season to Grove’s last season in Philadelphia), Grove finished third in saves in the majors (50, trailing Jack Quinn by one and Firpo Marberry by 45). Just like Doc Gooden, Hershiser is a Hall of Fame caliber player, who won't make it because of injuries. Rice was 30 that year and in just his third full season in the majors, suggesting a player who wasn’t destined for Cooperstown, but he made it. Schuerholz doesn’t quite. Actually, I should be careful about say that. Not so sure that helps Rommel’s case much. You can certainly spot Hershiser some extra credit for his fantastic 1988 post-season, Hall voters are very fond of October heroics. Then there’s David Cone. It sure seems like King Felix is no longer royalty. He led the league in runs once, triples twice, and stolen bases ten times.
Why isn't Orel Hershiser in the HOF?! He did so with only a dozen homers and 22 walks on the year. Further, he helped the Dodgers to the World Series where he homered three times in a losing effort against the Yankees. For example, there are 25 pitchers in this decade within 50% of the leader’s value. He tossed a perfecto and another no-no for good measure. He proved an utter embarrassment to the game and the team in both his very public divorce proceedings, which laid bare how he mismanaged the team, and the over-extravagant lifestyle he led.
First, the guy has five rings for the Yankees, so that’s one strike against him. He could even bust into the top-40 this year if he continues to pitch insanely well. Eric: Wow, what a ballot!
Connie Mack used Chief Bender as an ace closer back in the deadball era. Same deal with the gap of 26 rankings for Nap Rucker, the gap of 23 ranking for Babe Adams, and the gap of 24 rankings for Burleigh Grimes. The best you can possibly do is five (one point for first place in each of five categories). Same idea, different figures. And we should also give him some of the credit as Scouting Director under Buzzie Bavasi for drafting Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Ron Cey, and others. Loria ran the once proud Expos into the ground before the smoke-and-mirrors deal that gave him the Marlins. He's got over 200 wins, over 2000 strikeouts, and an ERA below 3.50. I don’t offer any extra credit for hitters in the playoffs, but it’s not like I ignore October either. Jeffrey Loria is among the very worst owners in sports today, and it was Bud who welcomed him to the fold. That’s clear whether Bob Welch is the fifth best or the ninth.
It’s the lower third that really speaks to the quality of the players elected. Stubbs was drafted by Campanis’ Dodgers in the first round of the 1982 draft. That’s because we’re not interested in guys with too high a peak. For the same reason, they also cannot have a prime where they averaged 6 WAR per season. What’s remarkable about Sutton is his durability. The pitcher of the 1980s! Vous pouvez modifier vos choix à tout moment dans vos paramètres de vie privée.
