The fact that he put Jack Morris on his ballot over Bert Blyleven tells me all I need to know.

LOL at Tim Raines not garnering over 100% of the votes. Such an obvious slam dunk inclusion. Near-miss? Kill yourself. Also, Bert Blyleven should have been a slam dunk first ballot hall of famer. Why it's even a debate at this point is kind of a disgrace.

Dave Parker? Hahaha.

Jack Morris has a career 105 ERA+. Are we going to put Jamie Moyer in the Hall of Fame, too?

Heyman wrote:5. Dave Concepcion. This is his 15th and last year on the ballot, and he's probably going to get his usual 10 percent of the vote again. The reason I am in that 10 percent is that I think he was perhaps the best all-around shortstop of his generation and an underrated piece of the Big Red Machine. Great defender (five Gold Gloves) and superb stealer (321 stolen bases), his career looks a lot like Hall-of-Famer Phil Rizzuto's to me -- without the announcing, of course.

So your justification for voting for Concepcion--whom you admitted has a low OBP working against him earlier in the article--is Gold Gloves (an award your League of Morons has made irrelevant), stolen bases (not that great a metric in and of itself), and the fact that his numbers look a lot like those of Phil Rizzuto, who is one of the most overrated baseball players ever and shouldn't be in the Hall either. Give up your HOF vote and stop writing articles, you stupid, stupid man.

While I don't agree with his 6 picks, I don't think the guy is an idiot either. Actually I only agree with 2 of his 6 picks.

Complete moron. He values one season over a lifetime body of work. Morris was not even the ace of team in the years that he is given so much credit for. In 91, Scott Erickson was the ace, unfortunately he got hurt towards the end and never really recovered the dominance he showed earlier that year. Kevin Tapani's numbers were also better than Morris' in 91. How many crappy Twin and Ranger teams did Bert pitch for? If he had a better lineup, he would have won 20 a year, multiple times. This guy is a complete douche who knows little about the game. He explains away everyone who he likes marginal stats but hammers those he doesn't like.
