Hunter HOF #'s

All,

Just spent a little time digging into Hunter's HOF and figured these stats might be of some interest to the league and posting it here is easier than World Chat.

The HOF currently has 50 members from the 50 members here are a few key stats

There are 19 pitchers and 31 hitters in the HOF

Of the 19 pitchers ALL of them were starters with the exception of Mel Cortes who pitched as a tandem starter. There are 0 closers or relievers in the Hall.

Of the 31 pitchers here are the position break-down (the position a player played MOST games in his career are used).

1b/DH/LF/RF represent 20 of the 31 hitters, going around the diamond, I've added OPS next to everyone's names I know some have more counting stats which matters but I wanted to add something to provide context around the diamond.

C: (1) Robinson Rodrigo (.854 OPS)

1b: (7) Lou Stevenson (1.114 OPS), Rich Peters (.969 OPS), David Trinidad (.906 OPS), Ken Sisler (.934 OPS), Matt Buchanan (.978 OPS), Rondell Sandowski (1.026 OPS), Mark Iwamura (.978 OPS)

2b: (1) Mendy Clemens (.905 OPS)

3b: (4) Angel Bolivar (.899 OPS), Guillermo Sanchez (.922 OPS), Britt Perkins (.922 OPS), Felipe Sosa (.952 OPS)

SS:  (3) Alan Grimsley (.922 OPS), Eruibel Johnson (.916 OPS), Gary Morton (.850 OPS)

LF: (6) Albert Henley (1.040 OPS), Magglio Javier (1.022 OPS), Braden Cox (.943 OPS), Branch Gardner (1.049 OPS), Michael Bocachica (.903 OPS), Bredan Weekes (1.025 OPS)

CF: (2) Garret Biggio (.969 OPS), Patrick Bynum (.956 OPS)

RF: (4) Yamid Molina (.938 OPS), Frank Zhang (1.151 OPS), Bruce Kaufman (.923 OPS), Ed Burks (.976 OPS)

DH: (3) Sam Wheeler (.985 OPS), Ty Langston (.951 OPS), Gene Rucker (1.028 OPS)

As I stated in the World chat I think we undervalue positions and relative to their historical peers. Alexi Garces (.950 OPS- Catcher) and Julian Pena (.908- 3b) should receive real HOF consideration
