His teammates looked to him as very important, hence his nickname “Big Wheel.” But though Parrish and Carter each won just one World Series, it seems like Carter was the bigger winner. Parrish hit a nifty.284 during the year (best among AL catchers) and he and Hall of Famer Gary Carter were the only backstops in the Majors to slug over.500. Because he batted .256. Players didn’t play that many games in the 1800s. Please check your details, and try again. Lance Parrish is interesting because he actually does having framing stats in his career. I realize Yadi had 35 fWAR before the framing, although his career wasn’t over and he’s a lot more borderline for me than he is for most people I imagine (although I’ve been won over to include him don’t worry.). You are in fact reading that right. Let’s be reasonable here though. He’s a weird case. He can thank the sign stealing for that. Whatever version of defense we use to judge early 1900s catcher defense is not a fan of Breshanan’s defense, but he was a 128 wRC+ hitter as a catcher. Twitter Doumit was previously a 5.4 career fWAR player, as he was an average hitter with bad defense before framing. Where I’m flexible on that number is if they are close and they have a good peak, or at least five seasons with 5+ fWAR. As for the peak part, well unfortunately McCann had about five straight seasons where his framing added nearly 3 wins, so nobody who accomplishes career 40 fWAR is gonna have any trouble having at least five 2+ win seasons. Home » Does Lance Parrish deserve Hall of Fame consideration? It’s here where I had special access to a ZiPS projection system since you can, in theory, guess how the rest of his career would have gone. Jeffrey Chupp, *For stock items that are ordered before 4:30pm EST Monday through Friday. However, I will encourage Cardinals fans to please argue for Yadi AND Russell Martin, because I believe it will undercut your argument for Yadi and just make you look like a homer without thinking both should make it. It is somewhat difficult to make the case for him without framing in my opinion. Though he won Gold Gloves, there was always someone around (Carlton Fisk, Bob Boone, Jim Sundberg) who was his superior to him as a defender behind the dish. He was a neutral framer in the first year of framing’s existence in 1988, then +4.6, +6.7, then +10, but then negative for his last four seasons. McCann’s fifth best season is just 4.3 fWAR so the vast majority of his peak is just 4 seasons. (thus, truly capturing a player’s peak seasons) and making similar adjustments for catchers and relief pitchers. There’s only one Hall of Famer under 40 WAR who I didn’t exclude from my average and that’s Roger Breshanan with 39.6 fWAR, so he almost qualifies. This is like discovering Bigfoot to me. Makes me feel like we can at least go off people’s word on some of these borderline cases. The Cardinals would be better with both players. Is Parrish among the best 15 or so catchers? Lance Parrish Position Catcher Years 1977-1995 Hall Rating 80 Next Ballot Lance Parrish … This offseason is gonna be weird - A Hunt and Peck. Lance Parrish played for the Detroit Tigers from 1977 to 1986. Too much imagination required for Porter. And he played catcher. He also earned some hardware and honors: eight All-Star nods, six Silver Slugger Awards, three Gold Gloves, a World Series title. His contemporary who is in the Hall, Deacon White, had a .312 average and a 121 wRC+ but with defense that didn’t grade as well. He was a backup catcher for three years before getting regular playing time - he was a 123 wRC+ hitter in those three seasons combined, and yet only received 595 PAs. leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats. Schalk, well there’s no way to make a career 88 wRC+ look like a Hall of Famer. He doesn’t have much of a case for the Hall, but it’s not remotely his fault. If you make this super simplistic and just remove 0.5 WAR for every subsequent season, he ends up replacement level by 38 with a career 49.4 fWAR. As for the modern day players, Yadier Molina, Russell Martin, and Brian McCann all have identical cases for the Hall. Brian McCann was the best framer in the game from 2008 to 2012, and he ended up settling into slightly above average by his 30s. Both were much better offensive players, enough that the defense doesn’t matter that much. Lance Michael Parrish, nicknamed "Big Wheel", is an American former professional baseball player who played as a catcher in Major League Baseball from 1977 through 1995. Like Parrish, Carter was converted to the catcher position, and like Parrish, Carter had to work hard to become a good defensive catcher. Facebook. Yeah Porter pretty easily doesn’t have the peak here. It’s become popular to support Jack Morris and Alan Trammell for the Baseball Hall of Fame, though different groups tend to support each of them. Parrish was an All-Star eight times, and was essentially one of the 2-3 best catchers in the American League from 1979 to 1986. Still, history has shown us that players who finish playing shy of 2,000 hits fail to reach the Hall. Follow the Hall of Stats on Parrish drove in 100 runs only once and had 98 two other times hitting in the middle of a very good lineup. Parrish is a different case, however. In the long run, Carter was just a better player for about 4-5 more years than Parrish.
