"From a statistical standpoint, Martinez had his high points, to be sure. His isolated years of pure brilliance -- from 1995 to 2001, he hit .329 and averaged 28 homers and 110 RBIs per season -- and excellent career statistics in batting average (.312), on-base percentage (.418) and slugging (.515) will get him votes.rene144 wrote: Mi auguro che i votanti la pensino come te fra un paio di mesi.
Also on the plus side are nuggets that include seven All-Star teams, five Silver Slugger Awards, two AL batting titles, and he retired with the highest batting average (.315), most homers (243) and most RBIs by a DH (1,043).
Martinez is one of only 11 inactive players to play in 2,000 games and have a career batting average over .300 with a career OBP over .400 and a slugging percentage over .500. The other 10 are already on the wall in Cooperstown. Also, Martinez, Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Stan Musial, Rogers Hornsby and Lou Gehrig are the only players in MLB history with at least 300 home runs, 500 doubles, a career batting average higher than .300, and a career on-base percentage higher than .400.

Aggiungerei 147 OPS+ in cariera e alcuni anni a Safeco che è mortifero per i destri :gazza:
