Id be surious to see Tinker's stats for the period of 1906-1910. Generally, the cubs were in close contention (ecept in '06) with the giants to get to the series and Tinker was one of the very few people who had Mathewson's number. Since Mathewson was most likely called in for the important games, it was Tinker's hitting that pushed them past the Giants. Even though he didnt have a great managing career, I think It says something that the reds trusted his talent to put him in that position in '13. That on top of te fed's wanting him as much as they did (maybe cause he was more willing to jump than most or maybe for true talent Im not sure?).
