Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 4144916, member: 1572"] Those of you pushing Rolen over Ortiz for the HoF have taken leave of your senses. In his entire career Rolen finished once in the top ten for MVP voting. Ortiz had seven finishes in the top ten and six of those finishes were in the top six. Looking at the postseason stats shows Ortiz with a .947 OPS with 17 HRs and 61 RBIs while in 10 postseason series Rolen had an OPS of .678 with 5 dingers and 12 RBI. It's quite possible the Red Sox do not win any of their three world championships (2004, 2007 and 2013) without Ortiz in the lineup. Nobody comes close to Ortiz in terms of postseason production over the last two decades. Oh btw he drove in nearly 500 more runs while hitting more than 225 dingers than Rolen. Nuts. [/QUOTE]
