Cobb is my first hitter to reach 100+ WAR and Morgan is in the 90's himself.
Maybe it's just me...(probably) but Lou Whitaker just doesn't get enough respect in this game. I've had to put him on a couple of All-Star teams where it was obvious he deserved it. Meanwhile, I have to keep rippin' lunks like Russell Branyan off All-Star teams. Yeah, he can hit 30 HR in a season in his sleep, but that's not all there is to playing baseball at a high level. /rant over
