He ranks above the average for 3B players in the Hall of Fame on WAR, WAR-7, and JAWS. Plus he was a fine defensive player and good team-mate. I enjoyed watching him play at the end of his career when he was in Cincinnati.

Great defender and hitter. Good at everything else.

Ran the bases well even though he was a big power hitter. Not a ton of steals but went 1st to 3rd a lot.
