How to Judge a 1600 Rbi career.

Yes, given that he was a core player on such an absurdly dominant team, he's a mortal lock for the HOF.

Still waiting to hear why Les Musselwhite was born in the DR, though. Child of missionaries, and the Tim Tebow of baseball? Son of the US Ambassador?

He's got more GIDP than HR for his career. He's got a perfect recipe for a record like that, too - slow 1B, lots of contact and very few walks. The four-year peak is a really good one though, somewhere around .310/.340/.570, 42 HR, 140 RBI, 100 R per year. He broke out relatively late at age 27, hit like a madman for four years and remained productive for the better part of a decade. He's borderline to me, the low OBP/high GIDP combo really hurts his value but his ability to hit for both 90th percentile contact and power is rare.

He was stuck in the Minors behind and other first basemen who also was stuck in the minors and who I traded in 2039

He was the son of The US traitor who helped the DR become independent country again.

Musselwhite    437    1663    .283    .314    .516    .830    122
Dawson            438    1591    .279    .323    .482    .805    119

Is that a Hall of Famer? You tell me.

Andre Dawson was a plus defensive CF/RF for most of his career, and he was still a questionable MLB HOF choice. Musselwhite fairs extremely poorly in this comparison to a real MLB player who actually played defense well for a while before his knees gave out. I also don't think we're comparing this league's HOF to the real MLB HOF, based on the stats in the screenshot back on page 1. Musselwhite compares somewhat well to his peers, and has the "Fame" aspects to get him into the hall.

given the fact that 1600 RBIs is in the top 10 of your league i would say pretty good and in the top 5 would say pretty darn good.... All this just based on the RBI total of which was the origional question

Fair point, although I don't think the screenshot provides the full picture of the league you would need to give an expert opinion of the HOF worthiness of this player. I just thought it was interesting to find the RL analog.
