southsider2k5 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 06:52 PM) Unpopular Opinion: Frank WILL NOT get it on the first ballot. He'll have his one year "punishment" for being a DH, and get in on the second time. No way. He gets in for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 04:51 PM) Omar: http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...amp;position=SS Ozzie: http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...amp;position=SS Smith and Vizquel had the same wOBA at .311. But Smith was considered 10% more productive (wRC+) because league offense was much less potent in his era. These guys played 10 years apart. Ozzie came first but their careers overlapped, there used to be discussions comparing the two. Regardless, it just comes down to who you watched who was better, and certainly you can make the case for the wizard as being better but it's like comparing Mantle to Mays - they were both great.

The Ginger Kid Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 And I agree about Frank - I think writers will be happy to anoint a clean one from the steroids era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 04:55 PM) No way. He gets in for sure. I thought so too until Roberto Alomar was somehow 20+% more worthy on his second year than his first. The gatekeepers of the HOF are bitter old white haired baseball writers who would prefer if games were still in black and white. They think NOBODY in the modern era of baseball is HOF worthy. Not even Cal Ripken Jr. (98.53% -- really who would leave him off?!) Also, for the "story", they will want Maddux and Glavine going in together. Can't have Frank in there messing that up.

Chisoxfn Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) sure he is Agreed. He's arguably the greatest defensive shortstop to ever play and was a pretty darn solid hitter at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 @DanHayesCSN: Correction: That was Gavin Floyd's first 1-2-3 first inning since June 14 at St. Louis. He made eight starts in between. #WhiteSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
