#200 - ELMER FLICK OF
1898-1910
Phillies/Indians
OPS+ 149
BFW 29.7
WARP3 92.8
Flick could mash; that's the 39th best adjusted OPS in MLB history. The Tigers offered a 20 year old Ty Cobb for him even up and were turned down, Flick got into a fistfight with Nap Lajoie and was the subject of a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision regarding his jumping from Phils to A's. Plus, his name was Elmer. Like Fudd. And that's boss.
#199 - TONY FERNANDEZ SS
1983-2001
Blue Jays
Blue Jays
OPS+ 101
BFW 20.9
WARP 3 106.2
He's who you think Omar Vizquel is. Fernandez didn't kill you with the stick, but his glove was way, way better than given credit for. His career is what makes this list valuable; identifying the All-glove men who deserve to be remembered as really terrific players.
