1. John (You Can Call Me Grandma) Murphy Posted: August 18, 2003 at 08:20 PM (#516734)Gee, do you like Hughie, Marc? :-)
He will get a lot of support from peak voters. I mentioned on another thread that if I weighed peak more, Ee-Yah might be my number one choice. However, I weigh peak the same as career (which is more in step with the other voters).
So right now I have Hughie as the #3 peak. Among 25-30 players, he will probably be 20th or so for career (wild guess). Average the two and you get 11.5. Of course it doesn't quite work that way, but in any event I didn't say he was #3 overall. But like another poster, I think posterity has underrated Hughie as a mistake in the Joe Kelley, Tommy McCarthy mold. Especially if you note that he was an outstanding defender as well as a more productive offensive player than Billy Hamilton (for 5), then I believe he was the best player in baseball for 3 to 5 years.
I have Jennings slightly ahead of Kelley as of right now. While Kelley didn't have Jennings peak, he had more meat to his career.
Comparing Jennings to McCarthy is a joke, so I agree that is a mistake.
