Murray Chass, NY Times, on XM with Charley Steiner

Murray would vote for Jack Morris: was dominant in his era, won the most games, & was great in the post season, where it means most & is harder to win. Would probably vote for Gossage & Sutter. Says must look beyond the simple saves stat that was popularized around Eckersley's time, & look to the extra innings, the tougher situations that other late inning relievers have been in & what they've done for their teams. When Murray was a voter, he only voted for 2-4 candidates. He doesn't vote now, as employees of the NY Times aren't allowed to vote in baseball awards.
