Watch Randy Winn get a vote

And that same person who votes for Winn will not vote for Griffey...

trevor hoffman or: hey we let bruce sutter in and the world didn't end!

It's a sham when Tim ****ing Raines is going to make it to the hall, but Alan Trammell won't. Not to **** on Raines, but Trammell played a more important position, and had a higher career WAR. Though I guess Trammell's been getting shafted by the writers ever since the 87 mvp vote, so what should I expect.

They should both be in.

Neither should be in

 

[Winger for Hire]

If Bags doesn't get in, I'll be very upset. I might even consider writing a strongly worded letter to the idiot (Marty Noble) who only voted for Griffey and Jeff Kent.

If Biggio is in, Bagwell should be right beside him.

Griffey and Hoffman are sure locks to me.

Bagwell deserves to be in it as does Curt Shilling.

On a side note, I thought this was the year that Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez were on the ballot?

That was last year. Biggio and Smoltz joined them.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Bagwell, Piazza, Griffey, and Raines are projected to get elected to the hall by the live ballot project.

What I find interesting is that Bonds and Clemens are gaining steam. Both are almost at 50%.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I feel bad for Alan Trammel.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

I'm not really paying attention to the steroid stuff right now. They should be in but it is what it is. Griffey is a lock but Piazza and Bagwell need and deserve to be in this year. ****ing love Bags, man.

I could easily make a case that Bagwell is a top 5 first baseman of all-time.

 

[Pwnasaurus]

Richard Justice removing Bonds and Clemens from his ballot in favor of Hoffman and Wagner is hilarious in a sad way.

Gehrig
Musial
Foxx
Pujols
Bagwell

Marty Noble is a hack.

But George Bell had a lot of HRs and RBIs in 1987, he surely deserved it!

 

[Pwnasaurus]

Gehrig
Musial
Foxx
Pujols
Bagwell

If you think of Musial as a 1B I would have the same ranking. If not, yeah just bump up the others.

Wade Boggs had a strong case in 87 as well.
