    We know now that having so few strikeouts doesn't really mean much if you also never walk. Juan Pierre also never strikes out but it doesn't make him more valuable then a guy with 150 Ks.
    True, to a point.

    Bottom 8, nobody out, man on second. Who do you want up, the guy who strikes out 15 times per season, or the guy who strikes out 150? Also a rare case where you probably don't want the walk, either. But the last thing you want is the strike out.

    I don't want a lineup full of Fox's. But i'd have no problem with a middle IF who literally never strikes out, can bunt to get on or move guys over, hits triples, and leads the league in hits.

    With all of that said, not a top 10 guy.

      That's really what it comes down to, he's a good player, don't get me wrong. He fit in exactly where he was needed in the Go-Go White Sox of 1959.

      However, we're talking about the top 10 at a position ever and there's no way he's near that. He's not bad, but he's certainly not great by any stretch.
