so i posted something the other day about baines being in the hall of fame. i used an example that if tony larussa stands up in a room with those 16 guys and makes a case for baines, nobody is going to stand up to him and make a strong rebuttal. well turns out i was probably spot on because i just read an espn article by david schoenfeld that says basically exactly that. larussa says baines belongs in the hall of fame and whoever says otherwise is full of a lot of expletives. i didnt care before but now im actually a little upset these 16 hand picked guys get to determine if someone gets into the hall of fame. its so easy to swing a jury in a small room of 16. so basically every year 1 or 2 guys are going to get in that dont cut it on the writers ballot because i dont see all 16 of them getting together and not electing someone in. their egos are too big apparently
You all are judging HOF players against a ridiculous live ball era in the 20’s and 30’s when travel wasn’t an issue. Grow up and go to school!
Loved the 30’s!
Also no black okayers, no Caribbean players etc. On the other hand, nutrition and training back them was basically non existent. Also Medical science, also media pressure, etc.
Thank you for clearing up the O’Neill for Wilson thing…giants fans be crazy
I have to think hader and Hiura would be enough for syndergaard. Hader allows you to have a guy like Steven Matz be good enough in October. You only need 3-4 innings out of the guy and then you give the ball to the fireman. Id have to take 5 years of that guy + Hiura for Thor.
