Review: Biggio: The Final Game

July 26, 2008

From Onlyinhouston.org.

There are players — such as the Astros’ perennial favorite — who have magnificent careers, do all the right things, etc., but fail to put up those lofty numbers that Hall of Famers achieve. So should he be a candidate? Where does he fit in? Jeff Kent, for example, is a former MVP who has cracked the top 50 in career RBI, the top 25 in career doubles. According to Baseball-Reference.com, his “Hall of Fame Standards” for batting is 51.9; the average Hall of Famer is about 50. The “Hall of Fame Monitor is 121.5; the Web site puts likely Hall of Famers at great than 100. So this would seem indicate that Kent will get into Cooperstown. Does that seem “right?” Hard to tell. He has quietly put together such a career that demands attention.
