That's an interesting career for Hummel. He had a lot of hits, but primarily because he had a lot of at-bats. He'd be ranked second in MLB career at-bats behind only Pete Rose. My guess is that he batted lead-off for most of his career. For a guy like that, then, his main stat is runs scored. With 1633 for his career, though, he'd only rank 39th in MLB, between Gary Sheffield and Robin Yount. Not terribly impressive. He may rate better in your league for runs scored (and for stolen bases), but compared with major leaguers, his main claim to fame is his longevity. I wouldn't vote for him.

Thompson - no way. If he gets in, Andruw Jones gets in.
