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.

I know it's not WAR or any kind of objective measure, but not a week has gone by in the last 5 years that someone hasn't posted a video on Twitter of Dave Parker throwing some one out where I've been like "holy effin' sh*t . . . are you kidding me."

Yes, the evasive "holy effin' sh*t . . . are you kidding me" yardstick. Can't be ignored.

His defensive WAR, despite that arm, is absolutely awful.

If a guy’s defensive WAR is awful and he won 3 gold gloves and was in the close running many other seasons ….. I don’t know ….. maybe WAR isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Palmeiro won a gold glove playing something like 30 games at the position. I might trust the numbers more than the writers.

Numbers would also tell you that Justin Bieber was far more important to rock and roll history than Jim Morrison was.

That wasn’t the case with Parker though. Speaking of WAR, Bobby Grich had a 71.1 WAR. Was he a Hall of Famer?

Somehow WAR missed Dave Parker. He won a couple of Gold Gloves and at the time he played, he was widely regarded as a very good defensive player. No doubt, later in his career, he dropped off defensively but for the first half of his career, at least, people thought he was very good.

I don't believe they should let ANYONE ELSE into the Hall until the Harold Baines mistake is corrected.

As far as Dave Parker goes, I do not feel he is a Hall of Famer. 1st Ballot Hall of Very Good. Among the best 1-2% to not be in Cooperstown. I will say this as far as his candidacy much like I said about Harold Baines. Did he play his way into the conversation. He absolutely played his way into the conversation. Once you are in the conversation, anything can happen. Will I be upset if Parker got in? Not at all, just as I wasn't upset when Baines got in. I wasn't because they certainly played their way into the conversation. Baines had the right mix of voters on the panel that year and he is in. That could really be anyone.
