I have never understood how Grich gets so high up in those WAR/JAWS ratings. Here are his other Baseball Reference metrics.
Something does not add up for me.
Black Ink
Batting - 8 (355), AverageHOFer ≈ 27
Gray Ink
Batting - 40 (784), AverageHOFer ≈ 144
Hall of Fame Monitor
Batting - 42 (504), LikelyHOFer ≈ 100
Hall of Fame Standards
Batting - 32 (305), AverageHOFer ≈ 50
And even more telling:
Similar Batters
1.Toby Harrah (908.6)
2.Brandon Phillips (898.2)
3.Jay Bell (894.8)
4.Bret Boone (892.6)
5.Jhonny Peralta (884.1)
