Came into this season with 25th all time career OPS:

Baseball reference

Dropped it to .939 this year. Still very impressive.

MLB.com has him at 23 currently.

(Baseball reference only requires 3000 PA, while MLB requires 5000 ABs.)

Edgar probably cost us a title in 95. He was a hitting machine. Awesome hitter for a very un-athletic guy. Big ups to Edgar!

Edgar is a Hall of Famer. If Muet fans had to face this guy all those time they'd say the same thing. At one point Edgar was 9-11 off Mariano Rivera.

He's not a Hall of Famer. Good hitter (GREAT against the Yankees <_< ), but his numbers do not overwhelm you, and he's a DH.

He'll go in cause he's a DH. The writers want that.

.312 hitter, 305 HR, 1244 RBI, .420 OBP. I think that if he does go in, it won't be first ballot, because he was a DH.

Edgar does not belong in the hall . No way . He was a very good professional hitter , But there are plenty of guys from his era that had much better numbers offensively AND had to play 150 + games in the field . Someday a DH will get in the hall , but Edgar is not the one . I think that for career DH to get in , based on the fact that they do not contibute defensively , their offensive numbers need to be overwhelming . Edgar was very good , but not overwhelming by any stretch .
