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

Re: Hall of Fame Candidate Threafd: Ralph Benson
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.

Re: Hall of Fame Candidate Threafd: Ralph Benson
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.
