Dave, you mention Larry Walker and your trepidation regarding his claim to the Hall of Fame. I find that mildly disconcerting.

If you look at his career wRC+ of 142 and see that, that places him right smack dab between Eddie Mathews (143) and Mike Piazza (140) a Hall of Famer, and an expected one respectively… I’m curious to see what it is, exactly that you find to be his fault?

His 7 GG’s coupled with a career wRC+ as high as 142 makes me wonder what it is exactly that so many people have against him… He wasn’t (to my knowledge) linked to steroids and for God’s sake, the big guy could even steal a base every now and again (230 career SB’s).

Why isn’t Larry Walker HOF material?
