Cy is right. Chase was bad, but he was bad in a time when many players were bad (granted he was about the worst). As for his skills, all you need to know is what his contemporaries said about him and he was thought of as one of the best players in the game. Years after he was out of baseball, when all the revelations about him had come out, he still received more HOF votes than many future HOFers. Enough said.
