I don't have a problem with Kirby getting in, but it says a lot that he got in on his first ballot. Mattingly slips every year. For a guy who had such a similar career (50.8 career WAR for Puckett compared to 42.2 for Mattingly) it seems like he should be getting more votes.
Especially since Puckett had more healthy years, but amounted only slightly higher stats than Mattingly, who was on the decline by age 29. That says a lot about who Mattingly was when he was at his peak. Edited to add: Vernon was not a career .300 hitter. He also finished with a career WAR of 34.6 and is considered the 62nd best first baseman compared to Mattingly at 35th. Last edited by packs; 12-09-2013 at 02:46 PM.
