What does this have to do with Jose Ramirez? Just kidding. Votto is seriously a craftsman at the plate. Those stats seem too bombastic and far fetched to be real, but if you're telling me that Votto did it, I believe you. 

Side note- as someone who's a basketball fan as well as a baseball fan it really irritates me that guys like Carmelo Anthony and JR Smith are more famous/recognizable than a guy like Votto who should be a megastar with his on-field performance and personality.

[spystud13 2371]

His career line is .312/.428/.534. 

 

3/4/5 is ridiculously stupid.

One of my favorite players of this era. Should be in the Hall of Fame one day

If someone started with “I heard that” and then gave that info, I’d have said no fucking way. 

And goo punch, I heard that he learned everything he knows about hitting and being a good person from Brandon Phillips. 

[henrygandorf 29194]

that's some tony gwynn shit right there.  i used to love the stats on gwynn (and boggs) about pop-ups, swinging and missing, etc.  the shit they do in a season is what other solid players do in a long weekend.

i like how cincy is starting to turn things around, and they definitely have talent, but that's a tough division to make a move in.  maybe while stl is sorting out their issues.  i hope votto gets to play in some high leverage games at some point.

because of the difference in market size and the slow developing system process, along with playoff structure, i feel like mlb history is filled with great players who never really sniffed postseason opportunity.

Heres a insane Maddux stat

Favorite Greg Maddux Stat: He faced 20,421 batters during his career and only 310 saw a 3-0 count. 177 of those were intentional walks

Sounds about right.

There were 3 game series where Ian Kinsler popped up more than 7 times when he was a Ranger.  

[Underdog 28744]

Shit ends this weekend. 

[txhorns 2409]

It almost seems ridiculous to say but Votto may be the most underrated player in the game.  He is damn good but a lot of casual fans don't even know who he is or anything about him.

I heard this stat on the Dan Lebetard show yesterday. I don’t see how that’s even possible.

I'm a Reds fan, so this hits close to home.  Was in the 4th grade in 1990 for the A's sweep and Wire-to-Wire.  Been rough times ever since.

I am sort of fascinated with his HOF case. He got a bit of a late start by HOFer standards - his first full season was at age 24, and he missed significant time in 2 other seasons. He currently has 1,685 hits and 266 HR to go with that incredible slash line. Guys with < 2,000 hits are almost entirely excluded from the HOF. He should be able to pass that fairly easily sometime in 2020, assuming he stays healthy. 

Per Fangraphs, he is at 55 WAR for his career. For reference, this is about the same as Lance Berkman and Fred McGriff (among 1B) had for their careers. Assuming Votto ends up around 65-70, that puts him in the company of Killebrew, McGwire, McCovey and Thome, all HOFers except McGwire, who is a HOFer by the numbers. 

With a couple more Votto-esque seasons he will likely be deserving, and given the shift in the voting cohort toward a stronger emphasis on analytics and less on traditional counting stats, I'd bet on him getting in.

Should be a first ballot hall of famer if he's reasonably healthy

No, sometimes Dan Lebetard puts out good information.

all he has to do is sign with the yankees at some point.

Lol I think his show is funny as fuck, but that’s more because of Stugotz, Greg Cote, and the shipping container.

[Pato del Muerto 52531]

I think derka is a reds fan. 

[kevwun 15808]

He was interviewed in the American Masters episode on Ted Williams.  You can tell he is a big baseball history buff.  I was impressed.
