You can read the whole post and reader comments here. That idea leads me to
Omar Vizquel, who is winding down the final days of his 24-year career. It's
actually fairly easy to construct a Hall of Fame framework for Vizquel: Any
position player with at least 10 Gold Gloves is clearly one of the greatest
fielders of all time and merits a Hall of Fame selection purely on his
fielding ability. The list of those with at least 10 Gold Gloves:
Brooks Robinson, 16
Ozzie Smith, 13
Ivan Rodriguez, 13
Roberto Clemente, 12
Willie Mays, 12
Omar Vizquel, 11
Keith Hernandez, 11
Johnny Bench, 10
Mike Schmidt, 10
Ken Griffey Jr., 10
Al Kaline, 10
Andruw Jones, 10
Ichiro Suzuki, 10
Most of those guys are already in the Hall of Fame or will eventually get
elected. OK, you'd have to include Keith Hernandez (who peaked at 10.8
percent of the vote but was a fine player and MVP winner) and Andruw Jones
(Willie Mays-like in center field and has more than 400 home runs).
So that wouldn't be so bad. We have to include the "10 Gold Gloves"
corollary, because you once you get below that you start getting to names
like Don Mattingly and Torii Hunter (nine Gold Gloves) or George Scott, Mark
Belanger and Frank White (eight apiece), players who don't really fit a Hall
of Fame profile.

幾乎都入選了 只有幾位特例 (Keith Hernandez/Andruw Jones)
Of course, Vizquel's Hall of Fame currency doesn't solely reside on his
defense. You could add a few other things:
1. Played more games at shortstop than any other player.
2. Ranks 41st on the all-time hits list (2,874) and 78th all time in runs
scored (1,444).
3. Key member of six division winners with Cleveland.
4. .272 career hitter with more than 400 stolen bases, so not a complete zero
on offense.
There are probably a few other things you could add on his ledger, but those
are the big ones.
當然 Vizquel還有其他加分點: 1) 守游擊的場次比任何人都多 2) 2874安1444得分
3) 印地安人全盛期的基石 4) 打擊率.272 400盜 表示他有些攻擊力
