Ode to Joey Votto

Is he a Hall of Famer?
 
A seven-time All-Star, Pérez averaged more than 100 runs batted in per season from 1970 to 1976
Pérez is in the HOF

How many times did Votto get 100 RBIs?


RBI's compared is a bit disengenous. Perez played on a Reds teams that always had good hitters even in the 60's. And were perenials in the playoffs
Votto didn't have crap to play with and was oftened pitched around.

Votto walked too much to run up RBIs
 
356 HRs, .294 Average, eye popping .920 OPS (just below Mike Piazza and just above Duke Snider) , 1144 RBI's, 2,135 Hits.
 
Fair enough, in modern times Votto was the best.

Perez is ancient history.

Also, Votto got hurt in his record setting year, he was never the same, but was still damn good.

Big Red Machine is ancient history?
:eek:
 
Based on my observations, he must have batted .235 against everyone but the Pirates....850 against the Bucs.

The numbers certainly look Hall Of Fame worthy. First ballot? That's a different discussion. Wound up playing for one team his whole career (even though his teams weren't very good for most of his career). Four playoff appearances, 11 games and the Reds never got to the NLCS. But over 1300 walks in his career. That's good, but does hurt the stat lines that people look at a little.
 
I heard he is only one of a handful that had 2k+ hits, 350+ HRs, and .400+ OBP. I think the stat I heard is around 15 players, but seems it might be around 30.
