If this guy had played in pretty much any other era, he'd be a Hall of Famer.
Moises Alou

😕

I'm not saying it's a crime that Moises isn't in.
But when people try to decide what the line is between HOFer and NOT HOFer, Moises Alou is what comes to mind.
He had issues staying healthy but when he did play he was pretty dang good.

By the way, Alou finished 2nd in NL ROY voting in 1992. Talk about a solid class that year. Other MLB rookies that year included Mark Wohlers, Eric Karros, Tim Wakefield, Reggie Sanders, and Kenny Lofton.

Another thing...

Barry Bonds won 7 MVP awards.
If you gave the MVP to the position player who led the league in WAR, Bonds would have finished with 11 MVPs.

So maybe consider that the next time you think analytics/sabermetrics is some cac shyt that is somehow biased against black players.
