Red Reporter: JinAZ: A HOF Case for Barry Larkin
BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog —
Red Reporter: JinAZ: A HOF Case for Barry Larkin And he wasn’t “selfish” like Cal Ripken! With the regular season over, we’re starting to see an uptick in discussion of Barry Larkin’s case for the Hall of Fame (like this one by the Reds), as this is his first year of eligibility. I’ve written about this a bit before, but now that we have access to Rally’s WAR data for 1871-2008 (and soon 2009 after Retrosheet updates), I thought I’d take a look at Larkin’s case for the Hall of Fame using those data. ...The knocks on Larkin, however, mostly have to do with playing time, not ...

Barry Larkin for the Hall
Basement Dwellers —
I finished a piece last night, running today at Red Reporter, arguing for Barry Larkin's induction into the Hall of Fame. Response has been very positive, with links from BBTF (Repoz) and Rob Neyer, among others. Everyone seems to think that Larkin should get in (as I show, that's clearly supported by the data), but some think he might have some trouble. Hopefully he'll get in before guys like Jeter start appearing on the ballot. ...

... at times, the one thing the man can clearly do is hit. So I mean it as nothing less than a huge compliment when I say that when it comes to hitting, Barry Larkin was Derek Jeter before Derek Jeter. Add in years of good defense and a career that produced 147 RCAP, 105 Win Shares, four All-Star appearances, and three legitimately outstanding seasons after 1996, and Larkin should be a no-brainer for the Hall of Fame.
Larkin holds up wonderfully compared with other HoF SSs using WAR ...
