Lou Whitaker has the highest career WAR of any player not in the Hall of Fame who isn't still on the ballot, not yet eligible, didn't bet on baseball and didn't play in the 1800s.

Conspiracy theory:
Is A.J. being passive-aggressive with Scott Harris?
You didn't get us a quality RH bat - again.
You have Jahmai on this roster to be the designated lefty-wrecker -- which hasn't worked for a year.
So OK, Jones it is.
AJ Hinch is either trying to get fired or thinks this is some kind of joke. There is no world where you take Kerry Carpenter out in the 4th inning and replace him with Jahmai Jones for the rest of the game. A guy hitting .134. I genuinely have no words…
Kerry Carpenter last hit vs a LHP - June 13
Jahmai Jones last hit vs a LHP - May 26
AJ Hinch decides to pinch hit Kerry in the 4th inning and Jones strikes out.
Four South American teams have played their opening match of group play at the World Cup, including mighty Brazil.
Total wins: 0 🧐
Last one with a shot: Argentina tomorrow vs. Algeria.
Here's some fun facts. Tigers have signed 10 HS pitchers in the last 3 drafts.
4 have yet to throw a single inning.
2 were cut, one of which was brought back. One has thrown 9 innings and is out for the year. One is struggling in the FCL after battling injuries.
How 'bout next time @Topps, for efficiency's sake, I'll just wire you $295 and you can send somebody out to punch me in the stomach?
P.S. Amazing centering on my Shohei card. All-around solid experience.

Got there right at noon. First the website repeatedly glitched - in stock, in your cart. cart is empty, sold out. Refresh and it's back. Then slow-motion Captcha b.s., then in line with "less than a minute" wait, Sold out at 12:04 p.m.
@CardPurchaser
Oh yeah? Well Steve Yzerman ... is about to lose his first-line center, who really always should have been a second-line center ... for probably not full value.
But I think we're going to re-sign Patrick Kane!

The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup Champions.
They have $15M in cap space with one RFA to sign.
They have FOUR first round picks in the next THREE drafts.
ENTIRE core is locked up.
THIS is how you build a dynasty…
Trea Turner, a career 41.8 WAR player, in 2025:
.304, 121 OPS , 5.4 WAR
107 Ks in 639 plate appearances
In 2026:
.222, 65 OPS , 0.1 WAR
69 Ks in 305 plate appearances
More Ks than hits (63)
7 HR 21 RBI almost three months in
What's going on?
GMs and managers have to love players who:
A. Bring something high-value
B. Do it pretty much every day. Models of consistency.
Schwarber has been one of the best at that in recent seasons.
