Jeff frickin' Kent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on now!!!!!!!!!!!
Pardon my outrage, but... How the hell is the all-time leader in RBIs and HRs for a second baseman NOT a first ballot HOFer??????????????????? He was a run scoring monster at a position that's not noted for knocking guys in!!! He had 1,500 RBIs as a second baseman!!! He won an MVP!!! And he's going to drop off the ballot? Why, because the ridiculous sportswriters don't like him?? Boo f_cking hoo!!!!!! What a joke!!! And save me the stupidity of advanced theoretical stats to pretend he doesn't belong. We all watched him play and know what a stud he was. On any all-time greats baseball team, he would be playing second base. Oh, and Dave Parker.

Jesse Tannehill’s career stats deserve a serious look.

Wes Ferrell.
6 time 20 game winner and the best hitting pitcher of all-time by a wide margin. |

Yeah obviously Ruth, but I guess I hadn't been paying attention to Ohtani. He's already got 78 HR? What a beast. I remember seeing a clip of him hitting a ball through the stadium roof in Japan. So maybe Ferrell is the third best hitting pitcher ever...

Don Newcombe swung a pretty good bat. The Dodgers used to use him as a pinch hitter.

I think Ferrell edges him out, but Red Ruffing was also a good hitter who was often used a pinch hitter.
