After reading Doc's post, I was reminded of an interview that I vaguely recalled in which Shannon Drayer discussed Edgar's Hall of Fame credentials with Z's numbers guy Tony Blengino. I was able to track it down, and I'll import it here because it is:
1. Revealing about Edgar's value
The Omni Plant is arguably the best plant you can grow in The Sims 3. (Some might say that this honor belongs to the Money Tree - which is pretty awesome, and easier to get. I understand this point of view, but the Omni Plant is still pretty darned cool.)

Just my opinion. Rankings are Mariner-specific, which means (everything else being equal, of course):
Factor 1: Safeco -- LH pitchers benefit; RH hitters penalized
Factor 2: "2014" -- Felix contract up after 2014; Ichiro will be 40 in 2014
