Smith 168 162 155 151 150 143 142 137 134 129 127 127 116 100 Garvey 138 134 133 130 130 125 124 122 115 110 109 109 101 And Reggie Smith played nearly half his career as an average center fielder and half his career as an average or slightly above right fielder. Both more demanding defensively than first base (center field far more so). So Reggie Smith was a better hitter and fielder than Steve Garvey. But somehow Garvey is the better player. Nope. Oh. And Reggie Smith was a seven time all star who deserved to be there nine time. Garvey was a ten time all star who deserved to be there seven times. Smith won a gold glove in center field. Garvey deserved (maybe) two at first base. Smith was a three time NL champion. One time AL champion. 1 time world champion. Smith deserved the MVP in 1977 while Garvey did not deserve the one that he won. Career OPS+: Smith 137 Garvey: 117 Career Win Probability Added: Smith 42.89 (56th from 1930-present) Garvey 27.2 (144th from 1930-present) Adjusted Batting Runs Smith 358 (92nd all time) Garvey 167 (340th all time) Adjusted Batting Wins Smith 36.5 (tied for 89th all time) Garvey 16.9 (tied for 342nd all time) |
