He was third in mvp voting in 1975, 2nd in 1985 and 5th in 1986. He received mvp votes in nine seasons. I think he’s borderline, but i voted yes because in his prime he was the most feared player in the National League.

You know what he didn’t do? He didn’t walk. If you don’t walk and you don’t hit for a lot of power, WAR hates you. And in his era, walks and on base percentage were not valued the way they are now.

I voted no, but I also believe in a Small Hall so I'm not the best to ask.

Where is this most feared player coming from? Compare his power numbers to Schmidt.

You’re right about Schmidt. Let’s say then that Parker was one of the most feared hitters in the National League in his prime. I remember him well.

And he hit behind Stargell. I can't recall a more feared duo at that time. (no disrespect to The Bull intended)

Rice and Lynn had some big years.

So, out of curiosity, I looked up Parker in Bill Janes Historical Abstract to see where Janes ranked him and Bill James has Parker as the 14th best right fielder ever. That’s pretty good.

JAWS only rates him 40th. I don't think he's a HOF but surely he's better than that.
