Committee Chairman

Committee Chairman

Kirk Buchner, "The Committee Chairman", is the owner and operator of the site.  Kirk can be contacted at [email protected] .

Carlos Gonzalez

Carlos Gonzalez played ten of his twelve seasons with the Colorado Rockies (2009-18), where the Outfielder was a three-time All-Star.

Gonzalez had his best year in 2010, when he led the National League in Hits (197) and won the Batting Title (.336), and would have five other seasons where he eclipsed the 20 Home Run mark.  Gonzalez was also a three-time Gold Glove winner and won one Silver Slugger.

The Venezuelan also had brief stops in Oakland, Cleveland, and Chicago (NL) and retired with 1,432 Hits and 234 Home Runs.

Brian McCann

Brian McCann played the bulk and best part of his career with the Atlanta Braves, the team he was the primary Catcher for from 2006 to 2013.

McCann quickly became one of the top offensive Catchers in the National League.  While he was with Atlanta, McCann went to seven All-Star Games, earned five Silver Sluggers, and had seven 20 Home Run years, all of which were atypical for a Catcher in any era.   What was typical was the New York Yankees making a Free Agent offer to McCann, which he signed in 2014.  

He had three more 20 HR years with New York and later joined Houston as a veteran presence, helping the Astros win the 2017 World Series.  McCann finished his career in Atlanta for one year, and he retired with 1,590 Hits, 282 Home Runs, and 1,018 RBIs.

While he was beloved by many Pitchers for his ability to call a game, McCann's candidacy is hampered by a below-average defense, which lowers his overall resume, but any seven-time All-Star should receive someone's vote.

Ben Zobrist

Known for his versatility, playing at Second, Short, and in the Outfield, Ben Zobrist played the bulk of his career with Tampa, a team he was twice an All-Star and had three 20-Home Run seasons with.

In terms of advanced metrics, Zobrist led the American League in bWAR on the strength of his .405 OBP and elite defensive year, though it did not get him the Gold Glove he deserved.  Zobrist was eighth in MVP voting that year, his highest finish, but had similar overall numbers in the next few seasons.

Zobrist would later play for Oakland, Kansas City, and the Chicago Cubs, and though he will always be best known for his time in Tampa, he is a back-to-back World Series Champion with the Royals in 2015, and Cubs in 2016, the latter where he was the World Series MVP.

Adam Jones

Adam Jones began his career in Seattle, but after two years, he was traded to the Orioles, where he had the best part of his career.

An Oriole from 2008 to 2018, Jones was an All-Star in 2009, and then four years straight beginning in 2012.  The Centerfielder had good power numbers, belting at least 20 Home Runs seven times, with his best year coming in 2013 with 33 taters and 108 RBIs.  Jones not only had power, but he was also excellent defensively, winning four Gold Gloves.

Finishing his career in 2019 with Arizona, Jones retired with 1,939 Hits and 282 Home Runs.
