Why......That's Fred McGriff's music !!!Because he is not Hall worthy. Your stats prove that.
Here are other stats:
BA--.284
Hits--2,490
Home runs--493
RBI--1,550
Why isn't this guy in? His stats are better in every category but you are whining about CD. Anybody who knows anything about baseball knows that Delgado will never get in because he doesn't deserve to be, and I loved watching him play and he is a fine man.
I guess you continue to prove that your knowledge of baseball is on par with your knowledge of hockey and tennis.
There is a MUCH better case for FM than CD.Why......That's Fred McGriff's music !!!
He should be in the Hall of Fame.
Walker, who will have his No. 33 retired by the Rockies this coming season, was a career .313 hitter, though that number includes 10 seasons at hitter-friendly Coors Field. But he still had solid numbers on the road, including an .865 on-base plus slugging percentage that’s higher than the total OPS of some current Hall of Famers — George Brett, Tony Gwynn, Reggie Jackson and Roberto Clemente included.Because he is not Hall worthy. Your stats prove that.

Once again, you have a minority opinion. Look at his results in HOF voting. In his only appearance on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot in 2015, Delgado received just 3.8% of the vote, below the 5% minimum required to remain on future ballots.You need to be pretty desperate to argue that one. He got 3.8% of the votes and YOU ARE AGREEING WITH RockyDarts.Walker, who will have his No. 33 retired by the Rockies this coming season, was a career .313 hitter, though that number includes 10 seasons at hitter-friendly Coors Field.

But wait a minute Eddy....Carlos has a career OPS of .929 and we all see how much you love that stat to define a player.

So yes I could make a case from him being the hall.
https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/...itter-and-pitcher-friendly-ballparks-in-2019/But wait, Carlos played in hitter friendly and dry, windless Skydome, sort of like your argument against Walker and playing in Coors Field. Skydome always ranks near the top of home runs hit in a particular park.

Never try to reason with Eddie. We all know how smart he thinks he is.But wait a minute Eddy....Carlos has a career OPS of .929 and we all see how much you love that stat to define a player.

Delgado was a good as there was during his era. His career just starts a little late and hip problems end it prematurely.
Are you saying that Walker does not deserve to be in?https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/...itter-and-pitcher-friendly-ballparks-in-2019/
Rogers does favour home runs yes. But thats where it ends.
You can't compare Coors field to the Rogers Centre as far as hitting goes.
Coors field is a cake walk. Look at Dante Bichette numbers while he played for the Rockies at the same time as Walker
https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bicheda01.shtml
You think that Coors isn't a distinct advantage?
3.8% of voters agreed with you.Never try to reason with Eddie. We all know how smart he thinks he is.
Carlos Delgado's career stats are at least on a par with some Hall of Famers. Here are just 3 examples: Jim Rice, Ron Santo and Willie McCovey.
In the Delgado argument I give you Willie Stargell https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/stargwi01.shtmlI believe that Carlos Delgado and Fred McGriff should both be in the Hall of Fame. I wrote a letter when I was young to the Hall to shill for my hero, Rocky Colavito. None of them have come close to making it to Cooperstown.
You never answer any of my points but WTF i'll play along anyways. No use two of us being obtuse I say.Are you saying that Walker does not deserve to be in?
That is very acute of you.You never answer any of my points but WTF i'll play along anyways. No use two of us being obtuse I say.
So I was reading up on Coors. They put in the humidors in the park in 2002 to help control the thinness of the air . He leaves in 2004 so he was there mostly pre humidor.That is very acute of you.
Playing at Coors in many cases is an advantage but when a player has comparable or near comparable numbers for the 2/3's of his career at bats away from Coors. I think the advantage can be considered less so for him than for some other players. As well, he is commonly accepted as a 5 tool player and for the most part, the rarefied air in Colorado only affects 1 of those tools.
You also made a strong point about his stats going up once he was a Rocky (not a Dart). While looking at his career stats I noticed that he joined Colorado when he was 26 just reaching his physical peak. It also takes longer to learn the mental part/nuances of the game. Being Canadian gave him a later start and less learning time. So between him reaching a physical and mental maturation together just as he goes Colorado should also be considered. There is a good chance he would have had his breakout wherever he played. Maybe he would have only lost the wall scraping type of homer. Who knows how many of those he hit at Coors.
Lots of speculation.
Speaking of Carlos, who has the greater number of MLB RBI's : Carlos or Mickey Mantle (NO GOOGLING PLEASE)?I saw Carlos Delgado hit two memorable home runs at Tiger Stadium when the Jays would visit the Tigers.
RBI's are an antiquated statistic.Speaking of Carlos, who has the greater number of MLB RBI's : Carlos or Mickey Mantle (NO GOOGLING PLEASE)?
