I agree 58th in career 2b fWAR

82 wRC+ is 18% below avg hitter

according to fangraphs' DEF stat he is 3rd all time at 2b with 200.5

Maz was a pretty poor choice who I indeed think was buttressed by one home run.. which is pretty lame really. They already had a display about that home run so it could be celebrated without heavily lowering the HOF standard by putting him on.
