* Edgar Martinez was worth 65.4 WAR over his career with nine seasons worth more than five wins.
* Dale Murphy was worth 44.3 WAR over his career with five seasons worth more than five wins.
* David Ortiz was worth 50.7 WAR over his career with three seasons worth more than five wins.
* Harold Baines was worth 38.4 WAR over his career with zero seasons worth more than five wins.

Those numbers actually penalize Edgar for being a DH. Edgar is a no-brainer HOFer by any slicing and dicing of the numbers; the campaign to educate voters finally worked.

And why is he not linked to the steroid era? Because there were exactly zero links to Edgar as it concerns steroids; no rumors, no weird body transformations, no suspicious ties. He was just the best right-handed hitter in baseball for a decade.
