Jason, Rob... thanks. If you can get Simmons in, then I can tolerate Carter remaining. I just can't see the fairness of Carter getting in ahead of Simmons.
Oz was good for about a negative run in the field... he covered a lot of ground dependably well. And he was good for a bit of offense toward the end of his career. I gotta figure the pitchers that he played behind, and against, would all love to have him fielding behind them every game. The aerials didn't get him into the Hall... Maybe being about the best at his position, defining short stop play, that might have.
