dh,<BR/><BR/>Leflore got a few votes (mine was one of them) but he was not that close. There was actually a lot of discussion about Leflore among voters and some presented stats showing that he was not a great enough offensive player (even with all the SB) compared to other Tiger outfielders in history or compared to other MLB outfielders of his time. He was also not a great defender. I think

Just curious as to how close Ron LeFlore came in your voting.

Lee, <BR/><BR/>I was thinking later in the day about the "Indians" point I brought up and must agree with you regarding the business point of view 100%..<BR/><BR/>I think it's safe to say regarding the 'worthy inductees from the 90's' debate is that we have had one sorry decade as fans!! Not a whole lot there.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!

Jon,<BR/><BR/>I voted for both of them. I don't agree that Higginson is more deserving though. Higginson has slightly better stats but you would expect a corner outfielder to have better stats than a third baseman. Fryman stacks up well compared to other third basemen of his time as well as Tigers third basemen historically. He is a pretty solid candidate when you consider position. <BR/><BR/>

I have to question the induction of Fryman. If you MUST have someone from the recent era then it has to be Higginson. As much as I dislike Bobby's most recent form and the outrageous money he made, he did not ever sign with a rival team. Also, Bobby's stats are better than Fryman's in just about every category.. A VERY questionable induction, one that I think must be reconsidered..<BR/><BR/>
