Brock was a mildly-overrated offensive player-- the speed and baserunning ability were superlative, but he didn't hit much, get on that much and appears from all sides-- see RealityChuck's bit-- to have been a terrible defender, speed inclusive. And this has been covered elsewhere much better, but the Hall gatesmen haven't always done the best job sifting "great" from "pretty good for a while." Even leaving out the VC choices-- chock full of Rizzutos and Schoendiensts and Everses and Maranvilles-- you've got Aparicios and Suttons and Perezes to deal with. When Reyes gets to 1000 hits let me know. I still believe comparing Reyes to Brock is a true slap to Brock and thats all I've got. The greater issue of healthy Reyes legs early next year?....I would trade him. Murphy..He will be the 1B in 2010 barring a Carlos Delgado Festivus miracle
