	SITT - Jim Rice
		Jim Rice was so strong that his ordinary grounders would be into the outfield before the infielders could react to them.
		In the middle of his career Rice was a mighty home run hitter who fell into disfavor with the home fans---who grew tired of his mediocre fielding and record breaking 6-4-3 double plays--and with the press, who considered him surly.
		Rice's career ended a little too soon; his skills deteriorated faster than you would expect, perhaps because of bad eyesight, or maybe because he'd never earned "scientific" hitting (ironic, because he is now a hitting coach).

		Rice was the classic "strong, silent type," and his silence was often perceived as moodiness.

		Rice suffered subpar seasons in 1980-82, missing 31 games in 1980 with a fractured wrist and one-third of 1981 due to the players' strike, but he led the AL in HR (39) and RBI (126) a final time in 1983, while batting.305.

	George Foster or Jim Rice? - NetShrine Discussion Forum
		Rice's big year was '78, but he was a major contributor in '77, '79, '83 and '86.
		Rice - I think that part of the perception of Rice defensively is due to the impression left by his last couple of seasons, when he slowed down considerably and was having some vision problems (would Lasix have added three more years to Rice's career as a productive hitter ?).
		Almost two-third's of Rice's games at DH were from 1975 thru 1980 and are directly attributable to playing behind one of the finest defensive left fielders ever - not due to the aging knees or vision problems that ended his career prematurely.

	Why Jim Rice Should Go Pound Sand
		Rice has the advantage in career Win Shares, but both are under 300, so they would require a hell of a peak to get in.
		Considering that Rice brings nothing else to a HOF discussion other than the clamoring of the Red Sox Nation, any attempt to justify his entry is either ignorance or homerism.
		Rice is, in fact, one of my benchmarks for a player who is really good, not a Joe Carter, but still not a Hall of Famer.
