Estee 55897 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-27-13, 12:07 PM (EST) "Baseball Hall Of Fame 2014: No One Gets In, Year #2." Honestly, that's what I'm expecting. The same crop of writers who declared that everyone since Babe Ruth was on steroids and thus they would never submit any marked ballot at all ever again are still in the voting pool. Factor in for what that does to the percentages, add in the I Never Vote For First-Years crowd, and then go with the No One Left Totally Agrees On Anyone group -- it all adds up to a year without a writer-vote produced ceremony. Again. And the pattern will continue until morale vanishes or the current voting generation completely goes away. It's a pity, really. There are people on this ballot who have earned the Hall, and that includes some of those there for the first time. But it's not as if performance matters in any way. So here's the very useless list. Try to figure out who on it will never be apologized to. Returning, with prior percentage of vote marked: Craig Biggio (68.2) Jack Morris (67.7: final year) Jeff Bagwell (59.6) Mike Piazza (57.8) Tim Raines (52.2) Lee Smith (47.8) Curt Schilling (38.8) Roger Clemens (37.6) Barry Bonds (36.2) Edgar Martinez (35.9) Alan Trammell (33.6) Larry Walker (21.6) Fred McGriff (20.7) Mark McGwire (16.9) Don Mattingly (13.2) Sammy Sosa (12.5) Rafael Palmeiro (8.8) First-years: (Too Bad, So Sad division) Tom Glavine Greg Maddux Frank Thomas (Would normally hang around, but zero is zero) Jeff Kent Mike Mussina (They Also Served) Moises Alou Armando Benitez Sean Casey Paul Lo Duca Ray Durham Eric Gagne Luis Gonzalez Jacque Jones Todd Jones Hideo Nomo Kenny Rogers Richie Sexson J.T. Snow Mike Timlin I'm not marking my votes this year. Why bother? Official emptiness will be announced January 9th.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kingfish 16665 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-27-13, 12:56 PM (EST) 2. "RE: Baseball Hall Of Fame 2014: No One Gets In, Year #2." LAST EDITED ON 11-27-13 AT 01:05 PM (EST) I agree. This is a pointless exercise, for all the reasons you give. Plus some. The boneheaded voters from last year are still there this year, so why should anything be different? I vote that we reform the system, apparently sports writers aren’t the sports mavens that they were supposed to be. And of course, it’s silly to let living HoF members vote, the younger players will never live up to their standards. Then maybe we can take the momentum to congress. But first things first. First useless thing I do today, make a list of who I think ought to get in: (First, clear the backlog) Craig Biggio Jack Morris Jeff Bagwell Mike Piazza Tim Raines Lee Smith Curt Schilling Roger Clemens Barry Bonds Larry Walker Mark McGwire (Steroid use - or alleged but never proven steroid use - be damned, these are all great players with HoF careers). Then add the obvious first time HoFers. They had HoF careers, why make them wait? Tom Glavine Greg Maddux Frank Thomas The rest: Undecided. I suppose they can wait a year at least.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I still think Biggio has a decent shot, as well as Maddux. Maybe another year will get them the prize. The rest -- it would be a big surprise. And it looks like Mike Piazza has actually launched a campaign. Sad. Very sad. Another Agman masterpiece (2011)   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 10294 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-29-13, 02:41 AM (EST) 4. "Votes" Too bad I'm not in the BBWA. Here's my ballot. 1. Greg Maddux. Absolute lock. 2. Craig Biggio. I presume that the peeps who voted for him last year will do so again. 3. Tom Glavine. His odds are helped immeasurabky by being on the same ballot with Maddux. 4. Frank Thomas. 5. Jeff Bagwell. I think we all know that he took steroids, but he doesn't bother me for some reason. 6. Tim Raines. Discussed last year. 7. Larry Walker. Amazing to me that he draws so little support. 8. Mike Piazza. Maybe next year. 9. Edgar Martinez. Someday there will be a DH in the Hall, but not this year. 10. Alan Trammell. Yes, he hung on too long, but so did Ted Simmons, and I'm supporting him too.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

PepeLePew13 24967 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-29-13, 07:14 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Votes" LAST EDITED ON 12-01-13 AT 02:42 AM (EST) Once again, I'm being a total homer and making my now-annual gripe about how if Jim Rice is in the Hall, then Larry Walker definitely belongs. If Andre Dawson is in, then Larry Walker belongs. There is no question that Walker's home-road splits are over the top: Home: .320/.374/.546 Road: .277/.330/.459 But still … oh, wait, those aren't Larry Walker's home-road splits. Those are Jim Rice's. Sorry. Home: .348/.431/.637 Road: .278/.370/.495 Ah, right, those are Walker's splits. But since those are just super-sized versions of Jim Rice's splits anyway -- and Rice just got voted into the Hall of Fame -- I don't think they are disqualifiers. Walker was a terrific all-around player who stood out in a crazy offensive era. The Hall should always have room for a guy who is a seven-time Gold Glove winner, three-time batting champion, 16th all-time in OPS, and is one of only two (out of fifteen total in history) who has a career slash line of .300/.400/.500 who isn't in the Hall of Fame with the other being Edgar Martinez. It's ridiculous to penalize Walker for playing in Coors when other guys (Rice, Mel Ott, Jimmie Foxx, Chuck Klein, a few others) took advantage of hitter-friendly parks in Boston, Detroit, Brooklyn, the Polo Grounds, the Baker Bowl, etc. to get into the HOF. Not saying these guys shouldn't be in the HOF, actually, but saying that Walker belongs with these guys.

I'm inclined to put a few more in than less. My ballot includes: Maddux Glavine Thomas Walker Raines Biggio Kent McGriff (I notice that Fred's fallen off of Pepe's ballot now) Trammell (I saw last year that I had changed my mind about him) Piazza Bagwell Potentially but I already have more than 10 names in my list so far and can only vote for 10: Martinez Schilling Surely, there are 2 or 3 getting in this year.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55897 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-07-14, 07:40 PM (EST) 7. "Maddux accused of steroid use." Voter Ken Gurnick decided that since he doesn't know who used, he would just treat them all the same way and assume they all did -- voting for none of them. So there's the next fourteen years.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 10294 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-07-14, 08:34 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Maddux accused of steroid use." There have always been nitwit voters like Ken Gurnick. No one has ever been elected to the Hall unanimously. Not even Babe Ruth (11 peeps left him off their ballots) or Willie Mays (23 ignored him). The closest to unanimity was . . . Ty Cobb (222 out of 226), left off 4 ballots, for a 98.23 percentage. Because more people vote now, there are three people with a higher percentage than Cobb: Tom Seaver (425 of 430, -5); Nolan Ryan (491 of 497, -6), and Cal Ripken Jr. (537 of 545, -8). The only others to have been left off 10 or less ballots were Hank Aaron and George Brett (9) and Bob Feller (10). There have always been dopes in the BBWAA.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55897 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-08-14, 01:27 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Maddux accused of steroid use." The final punchline for Gurnick's ballot may be that he did cast one vote: Jack Morris. Because Mr. Morris (who does deserve that vote) was not part of the steroid era and is therefore presumably the last person he will ever vote for. It has since been pointed out to him that the careers of Jack Morris and Jose Canceso overlapped, which would officially put everyone sharing that status at the very start of said 'steroid era'. I'm guessing any Gurnick answer was emptier than his next year's vote.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 10294 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-08-14, 01:05 PM (EST) 9. "Either 3 or 4 will make it" LAST EDITED ON 01-08-14 AT 01:09 PM (EST) Looks like Maddux, Glavine and Thomas are locks to get enough votes to get in, and it looks like Biggio may make it in his second try, although it looks to be close. I wonder what role Piazza's back acne plays in his not getting more support. Because the real baseball writers were in the locker room with Piazza, they all know that he had it. Does that mean he was using 'roids? Not necessarily, but it's certainly way more common among 'roid users than non-users.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55897 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-08-14, 01:20 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Either 3 or 4 will make it" One of our local radio hosts said he's had bouts of back acne throughout his life (just turned 60) and he's never taken a steroid. Some people just get ongoing skin problems. I'm not proclaiming Piazza's total innocence. But I'll wait for more solid proof than acne issues -- and I don't think I have 75% company. I'm also trying not to go into Gil Hodges mode. 'I know he should be in there. You know it. Everyone does -- except the voters.' But if he's not voted through by 2016, I will give up.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

PepeLePew13 24967 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-08-14, 01:49 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Either 3 or 4 will make it" Put Piazza in there - he belongs, period. I have difficulty with the idea of keeping guys out based on things such as "well, he had back acne so maybe he's using." That's stupid. BALCO and Biogenesis links are one thing; guessing based on pictures of a guy being at a certain guy's house for a party or on things such as back acne is another story. What's next, refusing to vote for a guy because you saw cases of Red Bull in his locker?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Either 3 or 4 will make it" I think the reason a number of guys have gone down is because there was a limit of 10 names on the ballot. If they allowed 15 or an unlimited number, then there'd be far fewer dropoffs. Unfortunately for them, it doesn't get any better next year with Johnson, Martinez and Smoltz on the ballot.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The steroid controversy has stirred up voters' interest. Next year's ballot will include Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz, Gary Sheffield, Nomar Garciaparra, Carlos Delgado. Start planning next year's vote now! Hmm, as of right now, I'd vote for the same seven people that I voted for this year who didn't get in: Biggio, Piazza, Bagwell, Raines, E, Martinez, Trammell and Walker. I'd add R. Johnson and P. Martinez from the new guys. And, because I'm finally breaking down as we find out more and more about how widespread steroid use was . . . probably Schilling, for doing it without 'roids. I'm still holding the line on Melonhead and Clemens -- at least for another year. But I'll probably support Melonhead and Clemens one of these days too, although maybe I'll wait until the powers that be in MLB let Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson in.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

LAST EDITED ON 01-08-14 AT 09:34 PM (EST) It's a pity that Smoltz didn't retire one year earlier. It would have been so perfect to have Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz all go in together. I don't think any team has ever had 3 HOFers in one rotation for longer than, say, two years? Certainly not with any consistent length of time in their primes. And if I'm going to predict next year's HOF class, I wouldn't be surprised to see four get in - Johnson and Pedro should be locks and Smoltz would be a decent bet to get in on the first try. I could also see Biggio getting in, especially with Morris off the ballot to reallocate some of the numbers to others.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Seems that Bobby V. was on WFAN earlier today and he shared his thoughts on this year's HOF inductees, claiming that all three "manipulated" the system to get in. He said that Frank Thomas got walks by 'jumping out of the way on inside pitches' and that Greg Maddux found success by 'using pitches that moved'. What's next... Thomas hit a lot of HRs because he "jerked the bat forward in a violent manner'? Tom Glavine got a lot of wins because 'he gave up fewer runs than the opposing pitcher'?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
