Default Re: delgado for HOF??

Jim Rice: 9058 PA, 128 Adj OPS+
Dave Winfield, 12358, 129 Adj OPS+

Rice's OPS+ is artificially inflated compared to a guy like Andre Dawson and Dave Winfield because he didn't play through his decline phase. For example, through Dave Winfield's first 9500 PA, his AdjOPS+ was 134.

Also, when you consider Rice was overrated by OPS because of his low OBP, and some of the guys I mentioned were CFs (Dawson, Murphy), he's closer to those guys than Dave Winfield.
