Dwight Evans v Jim Rice

By Tangotiger, 10:47 AM

Wezen-ball reported last year on a poll from around 1990 whereby the sportswriters voted Evans over Rice for the Hall of Fame.  Somehow The Legend of The Feared Hitter grew, while The Legend of The Feared Arm diminished. 
This article is pretty standard fare around here, but it’s always good for the newbies arriving into the middle of the saberist conversation.

The Individualized Won-Loss records for various outfielders (min 80 wins):
181-29 Rickey
119-37 Gwynn
113-42 Raines
122-68 Da Winfield
112-48 Dw Evans
108-52 Dawson

89-32 Chet Lemon
85-36 Fred Lynn
84-39 Kirby P
86-48 Da Murphy
82-33 Ge Foster
86-52 most feared hitter evah
82-45 De White
84-45 Ke Singleton
82-47 Wi Wilson
88-65 Da Parker
83-68 Chili D
91-82 Ha Baines

It’s really pretty sad how the correct line can’t be drawn.
