"I don't know if he would be #1. When everything is considered, he's awfully close. He didn't bring the power. But he could do everything else. "
Awfully close to Albert Pujols? Come on. I would also take Mattingly, Frank Thomas if you count him although he did DH as much or more as play first, and Bagwell, off the top of me head.

Bill...
On the Carew thing, I really appreciate the time and incredible effort you put into that analysis. Very impressive, and I'm sure he did better in clutch situations than I was giving him credit for. I really didn't witness much of his earlier career with Minnesota. My friends/family/co-workers' observations all occurred during his time in Anaheim- and the futuility waiting for him to deliver a clutch game-winning hit was off the charts. It eventually escalated to the point that we could only laugh about it. Of course the next day, the score would be 9 - 1 (whether winning or losing), and Carew would be 4 for 4. We all lamented... where were those hits when we needed them? I guess you just had to live through it to fully understand. Might have been an isolated period, and thus not showing up in his career stats. Anyway, your analytical skills are incredible and I will defer to your expertise
