I'm with you on this one powersackers.

As for Powersackers reference to power/speed numbers, i think it was a fair attempt to support The Hawk within the reasoning (Sabremetrics) being used against him.

I haven't read much about The Hawk. But I know when Rice was getting bashed like this last year, Jim Palmer & Mike Flanagan disagreed with the doubters. But what do Palmer & Flanagan know about Jim Rice and baseball right?

Maybe former players should vote for the Hall.
