Hes a great player, but sometimes he gets a little too much love IMO. There have bneen better players than him who didnt get nearly the recognition they deserved. He only gets it because of the team and market he plays in.

He will go to Cooperstown on merit alone, barely. But he's one of the clutchest hitters of all time. The statistics back that up and there are lots of stats nerds that have tried to prove it wrong.
His numbers are literally as good or better in the playoffs and in what are considered clutch at bats. And unlike most players, he has enough of those at bats where those statistics are meaningful. That is pretty amazing when you consider that a lot of those clutch at bats came against closers and those playoff at bats come against playoff pitching.
