Yea, I suppose that's true.

He's probably in no matter what.

Chipper Jones a HOFer???? I just don't seem him as one this thread sees him as a lock, but the last 5 yrs of guys who have been inducted I don't see as HOFers either, I guess I just have higher standards. It's not just a Braves biased, Gary Carter being in the HOF is silly.

You don't see many things the way Braves fans or any rational person sees things. This is a common thing with you BOFan.

Don't overthink things. He's the best 3B of his generation, the offensive face of the Braves teams, and the best switch hitter since Mantle.

Didn't Eddie Murray have better numbers?

No, Murray's prime is comparable to Chipper's.

I'd like to see you make a case against Carter. He was consistently one of the better hitters in the league as a catcher, and he was no slouch defensively.

Also, I'm wondering which other of the guys elected in the past 5 years don't deserve to go in. Ripken, Gwynn, Boggs, Sandberg, Sutter, Molitor, Ecksley?

Just for the hell of it - and because I really don't want to work - I'm posting their numbers from the ages of 23-33.

<u>Eddie Murphy ages 23-33</u>
BA: 295, 300, 294, 316, 306, 306, 297, 305, 277, 284
HR: 25, 32, 22, 32, 33, 29, 31, 17, 30, 28
RBI: 99, 116, 78, 110, 111, 110, 124, 84, 91

<u>Chipper Jones ages 23-33</u>
BA: 265, 309, 295, 313, 319, 311, 330, 327, 305, 248
HR: 23, 30, 21, 34, 45, 36, 38, 26, 27, 30
RBI: 86, 110, 111, 108, 110, 111, 102, 109, 106, 96

I post this just because of the other comment about their ages. I actually think that they're pretty similar, especially if you consider the fact that there was less offense in Murray's era.
