Garvey has to be at or near the top of the list of players with the biggest disparity between the perception of those who saw him play and the assessment of the modern stats. Especially with those 6 200 hits seasons and 5 100 RBI seasons, but ranking only 51st at his position, WTF is that?

He had to get a bunch of hits because otherwise he would have never been on base. His plate discipline was horrific. His defense was average (see above post). At least three of his all star selections were pretty much honorary that he in no way deserved. It could be argued that there were two better first basemen than him in the NL in all but two of his all star years. He does get bonus points for being a good hitter in a pitchers park and he was a post season monster. Aside from that, again, Ron Fairly was his equal.
