And, where would you put those two in terms of "percentage players"?

Hey Bill, not exactly a question, but a comment about our friend Alfredo Griffin. If memory serves, in 1981 he had the lowest batting average of all qualifiers, AND led the league in errors! To top it off he was 3rd in CS, despite being @30th in SBs.

Yeah, that all checks out. I remember that I used Alfredo and Ozzie Smith to illustrate a point: that Ozzie and Alfredo were extremely similar players, and people thought of them as similar players, EXCEPT that Ozzie was a GREAT percentage player, and Alfredo was among the worst percentage players of all time. Alfredo was like the crazy guy in your poker game who will bet the limit 50 times a night, and he's not EXACTLY bluffing; it's just the way he plays.
