This guy had a career batting record that you would have said was pretty good for a pitcher bsck in the day, yet he put up a career war over 40. Normally I'd say 60+ is more along the lines of hofer, but in his case, his value was 99.6% defense because he was a top three defensive player by career war of all time. His best seasons were insane by defensive war. He's practically tied with Brooks Robinson and behind the wizard of Oz, of course. If youre that good at one aspect to such an exceptional degree that should be enough. Even if he hit like a pitcher most of his career. I mean they'd elect the best punter in football. If youre a top 25 or more reliever youre probably in. Top three defensively of all time, top 2 at shortstop, that should be enough to qualify.
