2019 Hall of Fame Ballot

msgkings322 · Dec 5, 2018

If I'm reading the HOF tracker spreadsheet right, some idiot named Steven Marcus voted for exactly one guy on his ballot: Edgar Martinez. Another asshat who should lose his vote. I'm sure @DefCONNOne agrees.

StanMarsh51 · Dec 6, 2018

Obviously very early, but with just 19 votes in, the following have gained votes from returning voters:

Edgar +5
Mussina +4
Schilling +3
Walker +3
McGriff +2

Bonds, Clemens, Kent, Rolen, Sheffield, Omar all +1

Another dumb voter, but from a guy who's a known guy and not dumb: Jon Heyman voted for Bonds but not Clemens. Makes no damn sense.

Didn’t he write an article last year explaining his split vote?

I have no idea but I'd love to hear his logic. You agree it's as silly as yes Clemens no Bonds though, right? As you said above, either trolling or a personal vendetta.

Lance Berkman. Lol.

Another Bonds no Clemens yes voter, Rene Cardenas. I will call out every idiot who does this that I can find. Anyone who votes for only one of those two should lose his vote.

I still think Bonds and Clemens get in the Hall but not during the same year. Looking at the tracker, Curt Schilling is at 75%. I liked him as a pitcher but don't know if I buy him as a Hall of Famer.

Harold Baines is in the HoF? Harold Baines??? You gotta be kidding me! A solid player but jeez they are watering down the Hall with stuff like this.
Dude didn't even bat .290 for his career and averaged about 15 homers per year. ridiculous.

I am AOK with Smith getting in, but yea. Baines getting in is a joke.

I love the fucking Orioles.
I always thought HAROLD BAINES was a wildly under-rated and often overlooked player in his era.

I am glad he got recognized. He was far better than a lot of superstars in his era. He should get recognized.
He was Kawhi Leonard quiet and shy. He never promoted himself as a star player nor did baseball promote him.

His peak was during a period where nobody had great numbers. He was really really really really good in his peak.

But, the hall of fame is a stretch in all honesty....

Remember when Harold Baines....................................

.....................yeah, me neither

who is better?

Baines or Doe, who excelled in the field

Baines .289/.356/.465/.820 121 ops

John Doe .272/.370/.470/.840 127 ops

Kawhi by contrast is considered a great player....I don't think Baines at any point in his career was great.

Is Baines now officially the WORST HOFer of them all?

broncosmitty · Dec 9, 2018

Compilers?

You guys that know more than HOF voters need to set me straight here.

wazzu31 · Dec 9, 2018

Who ever seriously watched Baines and thought, that is a HOFer? A HOF player is a guy a team gets outbidded for in FA not a guy teams let walk or trade in their prime.

Eh...Mazeroski comes to mind.

Two of the worst HOF elections of my lifetime. Good lord. They make Morris and Rice look good.
