Today, a graph by numbers. (continued)
*UPDATED*
#. Name (Lifetime WAR) - Years through 2008
1. Kenny Lofton (67.2) - 17 - Makes an excellent case for himself, following the path of an HoFer to the end.
2. Jim Edmonds (67.7) - 16 - This chart says he should be in the HoF. Do you buy it?
3. Andruw Jones (57.8) - 13 - A nice, non-HoF arc.
4. Carlos Beltran (50.8) - 11 - If he played in KC for his entire career, he...no. I will not finish that thought.
5. Mike Cameron (42.6) - 14 - I really just wanted to add green to this chart. It offsets the other colors and pleases me. Seriously though, Cameron's career has been long and productive. But not HoF-worthy (according to this)
