Thanks for your posts, they were interesting - and I was a little bored at work.
Like you, I'm not sure I'd cast a HOF vote for him, but I do see now that he's a better player than I had given him credit for. If he had 300 steals or 400 HR he'd have a better chance. Those are the kind of "sexy" stats the voters love. Dawson's 400/300 along with an MVP and a ROY helped in overlooking mediocre career numbers in BA and OBP.
