50 best players of all-time NOT in the HOF
http://baseballpastandpresent.com/20...e-version-3-0/
Dave Concepcion slipped outside the top 50 this year with the inclusion of Bonds, Clemens and several other cheating-dog 'roiders. An interesting, nostalgic read.

Re: 50 best players of all-time NOT in the HOF
How in the world do they rank Tim Raines ahead of Pete Rose? I understand them dropping the 'roid guys down the list a bit, but how is Rose behind Raines?

Re: 50 best players of all-time NOT in the HOF
Roids or no, Bonds is one of the top 3 players to EVER play, and the Rocket is probably a top 5 pitcher. Not sure how they are 6/8.
But yea, Rose is probably like, 3rd on this list IMO. One other name that stuck out to me was Tiant. He's the one that people have compared Cueto to right? Didn't he also have that twisty delivery? |

Re: 50 best players of all-time NOT in the HOF
I've been saying for years that Parker should be in. He was the best and highest paid player in all baseball.

Re: 50 best players of all-time NOT in the HOF
The hof rewards career longevity over greatness. Parker was a truly dominant player but he missed a couple seasons because of drugs or injury, so he gets left out. I think he should be in.

Re: 50 best players of all-time NOT in the HOF
Yeah Dale Murphy should be in. While he was playing everyone thought he was a hof'r but wasn't that productive as he got over 30. But he had a long enough run and was probably the most popular player in all baseball for a few years. I know saber-metrics don't really like his hitting stats , but he was also a great fielder.

Re: 50 best players of all-time NOT in the HOF
I will bang the drum once more. DAVE CONCEPCION WAS THE BEST SHORTSTOP IN BASEBALL FOR SEVERAL YEARS!!! DAVE CONCEPCION BELONGS IN THE HALL OF FAME! Was that loud enough? I do feel better.

Re: 50 best players of all-time NOT in the HOF
At the time he was playing he was thought of as a hof'r. It was often said that whole infield of bench, rose, Morgan, Perez and concepcion would be in the hof. But Pete screwed up and now concepcion's stats don't look that good. But he played at a time when offense was low, and shortstops didn't hit. I think he should be in if you compare him to a lot of the shortstops on the hof.
