JJ Putz is on the HOF ballot? Well I'll be damned.

 

[EpochLink]

Barry Bonds
Roger Clemens
Derek Jeter
Larry Walker

 

[Tecumseh]

My ballot would be Bonds, Clemens, Jeter, Schilling, and Wagner. Realistically though, only Jeter is getting inducted. Pretty weak HOF year to be honest.

[Halladay]

Rolen is a HOF. Deserves it more than Wagner or Vizquel imo. Walker should get a look too.

hope the writers keep him out for being a grade A piece of ****

 

[Neutrinos]

hope the writers keep him out for being a grade A piece of ****

And yet Clemens gets your vote?



Seems pretty silly to want to keep someone deserving of induction out of the Hall of Fame because they didn't say "please" and "thank you" enough for your liking

You have Bonds , Sosa and Clemens on your ballot so you are fond of grade A pieces of shit it would appear so why no Schilling?

Please for the love of god put Chone Figgins in the Hall of Fame

JJ Putz is on the HOF ballot? Well I'll be damned.

Legit LOL'd

JJ Putz is on the HOF ballot? Well I'll be damned.

I was more surprised by Heath Bell. The guy had two good years. At least Putz was solid for a long time, but he wasn’t exceptional by any means.

i have a bad feeling vizquel is going to get inducted

I’ve always held that average offensive players do not belong in the Hall unless they have Ozzie Smith level greatness at defense. Vizquel wasn’t that good defensively and Ozzie was significantly better offensively than Vizquel offensively too.

hope the writers keep him out for being a grade A piece of ****

There are worse humans than Schilling in the Hall of Fame. Schilling belongs despite how much of a loudmouth buffoon the guy is.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Damn, I remember playing MLB 2K2 and those players were on it. Damn I feel old.

 

[tony d]

My 10-man ballot from that list would be: Abreu, Bonds, Clemens, Helton, Jeter, Lee, Pettitte, Rolen, Schilling, Walker

 

[The Lemonheads]

Jason Giambi, Barry Bonds, Curt Schilling, Roger Clemons....

We're voting for d*ckheads, right?

In all honesty, is that the best list they could come up with?

 

[Neutrinos]

Abreu is an interesting name on the ballot

He's got some impressive totals, and it wouldn't necessarily be undeserved if he were elected, but I see him more in line with the likes of Magglio Ordonez, Brian Giles, Bernie Williams, etc.

 

[Barnum]

And yet Clemens gets your vote?

Yeah but Clemens didn’t put red dye on his sock to make himself look injured.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Abreu
Bonds
Helton
Jeter
Manny
Rolen
Sheffield
Sosa
Wagner
Walker

Left off, but would vote for:
Clemens (he can wait)
Jones
Pettitte

 

[HajdukSplit]

Damn getting old when I remember guys who started their careers are on the HoF ballot Jeter of course is the obvious one but as a Mets fan I remember when Heath Bell was a struggling middle reliever for a few years, he had a decent career with the Padres but I'm amazed at who makes on the fringes of these ballots

Anyway my votes:
Bonds
Clemens
Helton
Jeter
Kent
Ramirez
Rolen
Schilling
Sheffield
Walker
