2010-02-23 13:00:00	i'm poking through the Pecota cards and seeing a lot of the same names show up as comps--Carlos Beltran and Cal Ripken are two who have stood out to me. have you ever researched who are the "most-comped" players on Pecota are in any given year? (spf from Pecotaville)	I didn't note any special ones this year, although thanks to Clay opening up the list of possible comps, there were first-time sightings of guys like Sam Rice, Bobby Veach, and Cecil Travis, which as an old-time baseball guy I loved. A few years ago, an obscure Reds or Cubs pitcher from the 60s kept coming up again and again. I'm blanking on his name just now, but it'll come to me... (Steven Goldman)
