So, Edgar Martinez's OPS+ for his career is 147.
Here are the OPS+ for some other sluggers you may have heard of:
Alex Rodriguez: 147
Ken Griffey, Jr.: 139
Vladimir Guerrero: 146
Jeff Bagwell: 149
And some guys who are already in:
Willie Stargell: 147
Duke Snider: 140
Jim Rice: 128 (Jesus Christ)
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the debate when Edgar is up for voting in a couple years. He should be a slam-dunk candidate. He played DH a lot, though, and the same baseball writers who couldn't care less about defense are suddenly going to be up in arms about it, and it's moronic. MORONIC IN ADVANCE!
