Re: Should Bronson Arroyo make the Reds Hall of Fame?

WAR measures players on a single-season basis. What Arroyo provides transcends the things players do on a yearly basis (staying healthy, logging tons of innings over several years). In some way, he's deserving of more WAR than he's given credit for. However, I have seen no attempt to measure that. Therefor, I believe WAR doesn't give him enough credit as he deserves. But if you have 100% faith in WAR (and I don't know anyone who does), you still can't make a reasonable argument that he doesn't belong in the Reds Hall of Fame.
