Weiss' eye test tells him Walker's career was Hall-worthy, and he is encouraged because the numbers seem to back what he saw. Weiss cited an MLB.com story that detailed how Walker's numbers compare favorably to the all-time greats even when they are adjusted for one of the biggest factors working against him -- the inflation of offensive numbers at Coors Field.
"I saw that article, and when you look through all those numbers and compare him to the all-time greats, he fares very well in a number of major advanced statistical categories," said Weiss, who played shortstop for Colorado as a teammate of Walker from 1994-97.
