Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

I thought it was Russo because he only had 6 people and didn't have Chipper.

You may be right...I was trying to tune out his yelling of crazy things, so I could have missed it. I do know that Kenny didn't have either one on their list, however, and he said it was because they don't need his vote and he wants to keep some guys on the ballot.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

That was Brian Kenny who said that...

Andruw is going to be SO close...he was at 5.8% as of this morning with 57% of the votes "known".

I’m still not sure how I feel about Andruw being a HOFer, but dropping off the ballot after a year is crazy.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

Chris Russo doesn't have a HOF ballot (thank goodness) but on MLB Network's roundtable he said he wasn't voting for them because they already have the votes and he voted on other folks to "keep" them on the ballot. I wonder how many who actually have a vote do this in philosophy.

I know some have used that philosophy in the past both Richard Griffin and Shi Davidi in Toronto have done that at various points but after seeing what happened with Guerrero they've both come around to voting for who they want regardless if they feel they have the votes or not.

Crazy that 10 gold gloves, 5 All-Star games, over 400 home runs, a career OPS over .800, and twice fell just shy of 30/30 gets you knocked off the HoF ballot on the first try.

Surprised no one talked about Byrnes ballot, which was Bonds and Clemens. I figured that one would've outraged some people.

It's Eric Byrnes...

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

I think we get 3 this year but there is an outside shot at 4. I think Martinez barely misses there.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

Chipper, Vlad, Thome, and Hoffman.

Andruw Jones remains on the ballot.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

At least Andruw Jones remains on the ballot. That's more than what other deserving guys like Lofton, Whitaker, Delgado and some others i'm sure i'm forgetting who were completely thrown out after one year.

I have no complaints with this HOF class though I had hoped Edgar would've gotten in.

Really good class. Although Schilling not in is still pretty unfair.

Honestly, he made his bed with some of his dubious behavior. If that wasn't a part of the criteria or if he wasn't such a prick i'm sure he'd have gone in a lot sooner.

Which is completely wrong. I'm not here for the moral hall of fame.

Its about the playing career. Schilling never cheated. He just had some unpopular opinions.

The man belongs in on his pure baseball career. Im a Yankee fan and I'm defending this guy.

Just like Bonds and Clemens should get in for their pre-juice careers.

I can at least understand peoples angst over the steroid users. Even though I fully endorse Clemens and Bonds getting in. As it is incomplete without them.

But schilling not in. Is just a media bias thing. Somebody should look into it. As it is flat out robbery.

And no baseball writer could prove otherwise.
