No, I'm pretty sure he played like 400 more games at DH.

Thomas played 400 more games in the field than did Martinez. And was a better hitter.

True but they were both primarily DHs who didn't win pennants.

The pennant argument is irrelevant.

What position would they have played for your awesome D2 team? And would their career averages been about the same?

If someone were to have played D1 baseball, would that make them the undisputed knowledge champion of all baseball topics?

I'm not sure. Since BL thinks D2 is comparable to MLB, D1 might be comparable to some yet uninvented form of baseball.

Define "too much".

Any time when he could have driven in a run by swinging at ball four.

That assumes when he did swing he would
  1. Put the ball in play and not K
  2. Put the ball in play and not be out

Tough to judge something like that. For any hitter.

If he is truly a HoF hitter, I think it's safe to say we can trust him.

Taking strike 3 does not result in too many walks.
