So.......what's the point of this thread.

Use your imagination Tipper--which is better? same old same old as is done here all the time. Couple of 70's power/walk/low ave guys, faves of Mr James and co. Who would you want in the Hall if you hadda choose? Evans would get my vote.

Evans gets my vote too. Both played in pitchers parks for most of their careers. Wynn flamed out while Evans was still able to play effectively into his forties.

The launching pad and Tiger Stadium were pitcher's parks? I don't think so.

Jimmy Wynn.

[JR Hart]

He was a much better all-around player

[GiambiJuice]

Evans.

My personal HOF is broken down like this: I include all MLB players - even active ones.

There are 189 players who I would put in my HOF without question.
There are 35 players in which I would include, but if I went to a Small Hall or if somebody told me that they weren't allowed, I wouldn't cry one bit. Wynn is one of those 35.
There are 38 players in which I would not put my HOF, but if I had to or if I wanted a Big Hall, I'd let them in without shedding any tears. Evans is one of those guys.

Probably the same as yours.

It'd just be nice if the OP would put a little more meat into his posts. "This oughta get the Sabrenaughts rollin'" doesn't really spur conversation.

Okay, I forgot about Tiger Stadium and looked at "Comercia Park" rates. That was may fault.

I still take Evans because he was able to last effectively past age 37, in contrast to Wynn was playing in Coahuila, Mexico after one year out of baseball. It wouldn't matter if Evans was playing in Tiger Stadium, Fulton County Stadium, Candlestick Park, Dodger Stadium, or the Astrodome.

Just post. We'll worry about thread content.

Cowtipper, I am assuming that you all basically know the drill here, you are familiar w the players named, don't need intros and can take the ball. You post gobs of these, which make for good readin' usually-don't see the need to expound on the premise. Its just a player comp.

You can just post the names of two players and assume that everyone "knows the drill" or you can take an extra 10 seconds and explain the objective of the thread and maybe just maybe offer up your own opinion on the matter.

I know the mods are letting it go, but it's also rude to put everyone who is accepting of new metrics in a box and call them names. "Sabrnaughts" "StatBorgs" and whatever other clever names you've come up with. It's a textbook example of Ad Hominem. You don't see the sabr-minded folk referring yo you as a flat-earther or creationist for example. If your argument is valid, you won't have to resort to name-calling and baiting.
