2020 HOF ballot

[steelerssb]

the whole 100% ballot thing is dumb. that being said, I do love it just because I get to hear from butthurt Yankees fans.

Yep, I love it for the exact reason I think it's dumb (and also how much of it would've been because he did this as a Yankee, he wouldn't sniff this on the Mariners).

Jeter is one of the most overrated players and shortstops in MLB history. He won because of a few highlight plays at the national Championship level (when the Yankees were going to win anyway), because he fucked 5,000 super models, and played for... the Yankees.

Put Jeter on the Mariners or some other shit team and he'd barely be in the discussion.

Person that didn't vote for Jeter deserves a fuckin' medal.

man, Bonds and Clemens didn't get any real traction the last few years. not looking too great for them right now. Vizquel getting in would be a joke but it looks like that will be the case in the next few years. I'm happy to see Rolen gain momentum (35.3%). I think he'll make it on the writers' ballot down the road. Schilling probably makes it next year.

Visquel >>> Jeter

Visquel >>> Jeter

Says the guy that thinks Edgar > Frank Thomas and Rivera wasn't the best closer ever..

i understand that schilling is a dick and everyone hates him... but the fact he hasn't made the HOF yet is a joke... if he was even slightly likable, he would have been a first balloter...

 

[Mondo Jay]

I wonder if the Captain will feel comfortable coming out now?

Edgar >>> the Big Hurt. Hmm a dude injected with steroids vs an eye condition hmmm. Run along little fella, this forum is for people who understand baseball.

Props to Jeter & Walker.

So you have proof that Thomas took steroids? When will you be presenting your findings?

From where I'm sitting, 99.7% works.


I do find it funny that some are saying "he's #6 all time in hits" completely forgetting that #'s 1-5 didn't get 100% of the vote either.

Schilling took even worse a hit than I expected from the private ballots.

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens should be in too. If they were doing PEDs, I believe that just about every other player was as well. Baseball turned a blind eye because they were bringing baseball back after that stupid lockout!!!

they clearly wont make it until veterans committee... Kind of annoying that we all waste our time when they are clearly not going to get the votes... But now they really cant, too much backlash... especially because it opens the door for so many others...

So many assholes are already in. I never understood why personality had anything to do with HoF votes.

Yea, I will never get it either... I get borderline guys, but I don't consider Schilling borderline... he is a clear cut in... especially when a lesser pitcher in Mussina made It last season...

Mo was the best closer that ever lived.

Derek Jeter was not the best SS who ever lived.

I'm glad he's first ballot, but I'm certainly not kicking my dog because he didn't get 100%.

I think Pete Rose, although a colossal asshole, should be in, because what he did had no effect on his numbers, and his numbers justify admittance to the HOF.

Same for Schilling, I believe.

But I can't honestly say that's the case with Bonds and Clemens-so I understand why they're left off so many ballots.

its amazing how much hate Jeter gets... Funny thing is he has become UNDERRATED because so many people think he is so over-rated...
