Joe Gibbs goes out on top, again. Plus: Gossage makes the Hall of Fame, Raines emphatically doesn't.

    Re: "24% for Raines is nothing..."

    Although Raines and Baines are comparable on OPS and BA, you have to factor in Raines' 811 stolen bases at a 85% success rate, among other facets of the game. It is more telling when comparing the two guys using stats that encompass more factors:

    Tim Raines (career):

    EqA: .308

    Warp3: 131.8

    Harold Baines (career):

    EqA: .291

    Warp3: 96.2

    They're not really even close.
