Episode Details

Jim is joined by Baseball HOF voter David Brown to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB utilityman Ben Zobrist. First, Dave and Jim cover Zobrist's ridiculous versatility on a baseball diamond, both in the field and at the plate (9:40). Next, they discuss Zobrist's performance in the 2016 World Series, what he has in common with Jackie Robinson, and where he ranks among the best second basemen since 2000 (13:07). Finally, they debate whether Zobrist's peak can make up for his low counting numbers (35:45), before making a final call on whether or not Zobrist deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (41:23).
