I am going to refer to a set of Bill James-invented and -inspired standards in some future articles. Explanations for all are available at Baseball Reference.

Black-Ink Test
Gray-Ink Test
Hall of Fame Career Standards Test
Hall of Fame Monitor

Murphy does well on all but the Career Standards; his Black Ink rating is superb. The only eligible recent players who rate better than him there and aren’t in the Hall are Tony Oliva and Jim Rice. Several players elected for essentially peak value don’t do as well.
