I also tend to favor players who were very good for many years, which naturally gives career stats a heavy influence.
When a player's career numbers are borderline, then I consider playoff performance and peer comparisons the crucial factors.
While we're discussing numbers, I look at RBI even before hits and HRs. Any thoughts on a 3000/500-type magic number for RBI or runs? I'd guess 1300 or 1400 RBI and probably 1500 runs.
Does anyone agree or disagree on 450 saves? Given the difficulty in comparing eras, I figure any reliever today at least would have to surpass Rollie Fingers' 341.
