I'm not on the Dale Murphy HOF train either....BUT.....
Scott Rolen .281 BA 2,077 Hits 316 HR 1,287 RBI
Dale Murphy .265 BA 2,111 Hits 398 HR 1,266 RBI
Rolen was a 7 time All Star. Murphy was a 7 time All Star
Rolen had 8 Gold Gloves. Murphy had 5 Gold Gloves
Rolen was NL Rookie of the Year. Murphy was the National League MVP twice.
Murphy was the NL Home Run Leader twice, and the RBI leader twice as well.
Rolen won a World Series.
Honestly, Dale Murphy is just as deserving as Rolen, but then, I was like WUUUUT when they announced Rolen got in.
Right field. 3rd base. Big difference when comparing to the basis for each position as it relates to the hall and where they both hit in the lineup. Rolen was ten times the fielder Murphy was. Not even close homie.
