# Another stalwart Seattle outfielder, a speedy guy whose career was about getting on base and causing havoc. Solid and rock=-steady performer whose standard scores are better than you'd think, but whose peak probably won't really impress.

If he would have gotten closer to 3000 hits....

Nice player, great leadoff man, poor defensive player and one-trick pony. I'd say no.

Nah for the above reasons.

Ditto on the no.

Concur. Hall of Good.

I can't vote for the Rat because of the trick he pulled making me think he was signing with the Nine and then going back to Rockville (I think). Not that I hold a grudge. Luckily, his numbers are weakish, too.

Hhmm, that's a plus for him. Can I vote him in based just on that.

It's nice to have that aura of reverse influence hanging around me.
