2008 HoF Ballot

Post #21 » by **sunshinekids99** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 2:02 pm

I'd vote for Raines, Rice, Dawson, Trammell, Blyleven.

I'm still in shock that Belle didn't get enough votes to be back on the ballot this year. I know the guy was an ass but he was dominate hitter for 7 or 8 straight years.

I am shocked that someone actually mentioned Chuck Finley as a Hall of Famer with a straight face.

And 2 people said Robb Nen!!!!!!!!!!

This year Goose and Rice will get in, both deservedly.

I would also vote for Blyleven, time's running out for him.

I can't believe you believe Rice deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

That's one thing that I don't like about baseball, too many players get into the Hall of Fame. Isn't it supposed to be for the greatest players to ever play the game? Way too many players get it. All of the players listed seem to be there for longevity and nothing more. Tim Raines? Shawon Dunston? Rod Beck? Chuck Finley? Harold Baines? Brady Anderson? Lee Smith? Todd Stottlemyre? None of these guys could even be considered top 5 or 10 players in any given season that they played. The baseball HOF is a joke!

stfu and quit bitching, you're acting like all of these players have a legit chance at making the HoF, the only people you mention that will get decent consideration is Smith b/c of the Saves record (though i doubt he ever makes it) and Tim Raines (who deserves it) but if he makes it he might have to wait a while. most of those players will get minimal votes and will be off the ballot within a year or 2.
