Episode 158: Jim Edmonds with Bob Hille

Jim is joined by Bob Hille, Senior Editorial Consultant at Sporting News, to discuss the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB center fielder, Jim Edmonds. First, Bob and Jim cover the 2000s St. Louis Cardinals and where Edmonds ranked in the pecking order among Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen, Yadier Molina, and others (6:23). Next, they discuss Jim's famous catch in Game 7 of the 2004 NLCS, whether Edmonds was as good of a center fielder as his eight gold gloves lead us to believe he was, and the invention of Web Gems on Baseball Tonight (14:33). Finally, they compare Edmonds career to Andruw Jones and come to a conclusion on who had the better career (34:00), before making a final call on whether or not Edmonds deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (53:02).
