Comment on Why Ken Boyer should be in the Hall of Fame by Ron Noren
https://ontheoutsidecorner.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/why-ken-boyer-should-be-in-the-hall-of-fame/#comment-2088
Sun, 22 Jul 2018 02:31:44 +0000https://ontheoutsidecorner.wordpress.com/?p=4031#comment-2088In reply to Stag Beer.
Do sabermetrics take into account the size of the ballpark? Wrigley Field in Chicago was 399 in center versus Sportman’s Park in St. Louis was 426. The wind was also a major factor in Chicago and I believe Santo benefited. His home statistics are similar to present day Colorado Rockie players (or reminiscent of Chuck Klein in the Baker Bowl).
Boyer also delivered big in the 1964 World Series and should have preceded Santo’s entrance into the Hall. Two years lost to service cost Boyer. I hope that the Golden Days Committee votes him in when they meet in 2020. He should have gone in 30 years ago.
Thank you.

I agree, this type of deal makes sense and there is a scenario where both clubs benefit. The challenge is for the deal to ever see the light of day. Other than money, there is no reason for Miami to get rid of Giancarlo Stanton. That said, the $285M he is still owed after this season could be a big motivator for either Loria or the new Marlins owners.

They save face and cut payroll. We could do a Pham/Grichuk or Pham/Piscitti and throw in Wong. Why have a chase for at bats? Maybe then Bader can get a look at some point next year.

You’ve laid it out logically and reasonably. I concur, the time is now to pull the trigger on a trade like this.
