flavum Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Rolen, Helton, Kent, Rollins, Buehrle, Hunter, Beltran I guess if enough voters wanted Andruw Jones and Billy Wagner, I’d vote for them too. Arod, Sheffield, Manny…nah Tim Hudson shouldn’t have fallen off the ballot last year. I’m losing interest in this. The committee vote will be announced 12/4. Hopefully McGriff gets in. Clemens and Bonds (and Schilling), should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be convinced on Helton and Rolen and I really want to see Buehrke get some love from the writers but, all in all, a pretty weak list, especially since known roid users will be blocked. You are right, though. The committees are where it gets interesting and will be for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 The Committee vote is being announced Sunday night on MLB Network. Belle, Bonds, Clemens, Mattingly, McGriff, Murphy, Palmeiro, Schilling are on the ballot. The voters are Paul Beeston, Theo Epstein, Steve Hirdt, Chipper Jones, Greg Maddux, Arte Moreno, Kim Ng, Jack Morris, LaVelle Neal, Ryne Sandberg, Susan Slusser, Lee Smith, Dave St Peter, Alan Trammell, Frank Thomas, Ken Williams 12 out of 16 get you in. Fred McGriff is a no-doubter. I’d be fine with anyone except Belle and Palmeiro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Between the guys who were busted for PEDs and the guys who belong in the Harold Baines Hall of Very Good for a Long Time, I think my favorite case would be made for Andrus Jones.

Wasn’t Clemens great before he cheated? He won three Cy Young’s and an MVP by 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Fred McGriff will be announced as a Hall of Famer in a couple hours…finally! Would be happy if Dale Murphy and Don Mattingly make it too. Curt Schilling- wouldn’t say I’m throwing a party- but he deserves it based on his baseball career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Jeff Kent seems like the new McGriff to me. Alltime homer leader at 2B with an MVP. The voters are missing on him. It’s shameful they’re still in a position of putting elderly and deceased players in. Figure out who belongs, put them in while they can enjoy it, and move on.

flavum Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I think my ballot would look a lot like this. Definitely a Buehrle and Rollins guy based on the time they played, and I’m not against Hunter. Also wish Tim Hudson didn’t fall off last year. As for Andruw Jones and Billy Wagner- I was never big on them, but hey, close enough. They’re getting in eventually, so hopefully sooner than later. Again, stop putting in 75+ yr olds and dead people. Figure it out sooner so the player and the fans they played for, can enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see new age voters that value defense helping him out as the years go by. I'm a believer that character and contributions to the sport should count, not just stats. I would much rather read about and hold up as examples of what makes baseball great, guys like Buehrle and Baines over guys who tarnished the sport. I also believe there should be an area discussing the steroid era and the guys who did amazing things while juiced. I also believe an all steroid league would out draw the non steroid league because 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
