By itself, this is impressive enough.

FWIW (probably nothing), McCutchen has the most of players whose career has been in the free agent era. Not sure what that says, if it says anything at all.

Very impressive IMO.

I guess one has to put thought in what it would take to break Cutch's mark

Safe to say, in the free agent era, no one can catch Stargell or Clemente. Guys who would be capable to do it would need to be so good early on that they'd play their way into some other uniform before they would make it.

So, in a way, this mark's a double-edged sword. Guys have to be good enough to do it......and stay long enough to do it.

Cutch lost time for that reason. I could see it happening as a possibility, but it will be hard. Even Barry Bonds couldn't do it, as good as he was as a Pirate.

I say that it will be a while until someone replaces him on this list. ...if ever.
