Yeah, but that's a rate stat. No question that Allen was one of the greatest hitters ever (though a longer decline period would have pulled his OPS+ down). That's the positive on his record. But he was a bad defender with a short career--not just years but games as he missed a lot of time in some of those years (plus he had a lot of baggage, though I've seen the case made that he gets a bad rap there).
What's wrong with a rate state (with a filter on games played of course)?
