How many total votes are anticipated this year?

ABREU ADDED!

can we take this guys ballot away already?

I think even if he falls short in year 10 with something like 60%, that'd make him a lock for a veterans committee ballot on his first go.

great minds think alike I suppose.

didn't I recommend you show this?

What does Abreu's tracker look like next to Larry Walker's?

A guy who’s been at risk of falling off for a few years now is Torii Hunter. Would you ever consider throwing him a vote? He’s not the most exciting sabermetric candidate (better than Omar though), but it feels like a CF with 9 Gold Gloves and 353 dingers should get more consideration.

You say in the article you would have voted for 12-13 players if you had space, and list Mark Buehrle as one, but who were the other 1-2?

And people say this man was never elite. He was, y’all just weren’t paying attention.

still more mad at the rollins vote over abreu

reminder that the commissioner who oversaw mlb during the period of rampant steroid use, who tried to sweep it under the rug, is in cooperstown with a plaque. If that guy is in, why should the players be punished?

Is Buehrle someone you'd vote for if you had more than 10 votes?

May I ask why Bobby Abreu and K-Rod aren't on your ballot?

Abreu vote, good ballot

Specifically Bobby Abreu jumping up by twice of what he had last year

A Bobby Abreu vote away from being perfect

Alright, whatever.

A museum about baseball is incomplete without crucial players such as, let's say, the MLB Hits leader, or, the Home Run King, or maybe, the pitcher with the most Cy Young awards.

That's my take, regardless of character, they belong in the hall, you feel differently, that's all.

From that perspective I see what you mean lol.

But you ARE okay with card carrying Klansmen like Tris Speaker and Rogers Hornsby being in the hall?

Pete Rose by all accounts seemed like a scumbag, but he's a scumbag who's important to the game of baseball.

Also it's hardly an honor for him, because the sum'bitch died. He'll watching from hell.

At what point did I say “I think Pete Rose is a good person“?

Newsflash, I didn’t.

Pete Rose belongs in the hall of fame for the same reason Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens do.

It’s impossible to tell the story of baseball without them.

Like I said, there are KLANSMEN in the hall. The character clause is just an excuse voters use to not vote for players they dislike. Also it’s only ever used to keep people out, rather than put them in.

Please explain this ballot without sounding like a Homer.

Is Beltran out because of the 2017 Astros?

Is Jones out because of the Domestic Abuse?

You left steroid guys off for the steroids?

What about Bobby Abreu and Cole Hamels? Those guys are also former Phillies.

There are Klansmen in the Hall Of Fame. It isn’t the hall of good people. The man with the most hits in MLB history belongs in the Hall of Fame, that really shouldn’t be a hot take.

Difference is Pete Rose is a HOFer and Jimmy Rollins isn’t.

Dan Gelston is a filthy Homer.

As a fellow “Rollins isn’t a HOFer” believe, this is crazy to say when Hunter Pence is also on the ballot lmao.

K-Rod vote W

10 name ballot and non of the votes were for Abreu. Feels bad man.
