Hall of Fame Ballot

[Zvon]

Niiiiiice!

I thought it was really embarrassing when the guy from Cooperstown briefly announced that La La Land had gained entry.

Edgar’s going to need 5 more percent in his final year.

Mussina made a big jump - its pretty hard to keep him out with Morris in, but then you can say the same about another dozen guys.

Morris really didnt belong.

There will be a guy elected next year who hit and didn't field - Derek Jeter.

Oh, no. I am SO not mentally ready for that.

Jeter's "fielding" - the joke that will NEVER get old.

[Valadius]

Jeter's not on the ballot next year. He's up in 2020. Rivera is on next year's ballot.

He'll get in because his supporters will write him in.

Vladdy goes in as an Angel, the first to represent the franchise now entering its 58th season.

Makes sense! Expos have three already in Dawson, Raines and Carter.

[G-Fafif]

MVP in Anaheim, went to the postseason, raised his profile. Not crazy, but kind of sad as a reminder that the Expos should have been able to keep him (and continued to exist).

[Valadius]

Guerrero's decision seems to close the book on representation of the Expos in the Hall of Fame. Larry Walker, should be be elected, would naturally be a Rockie.

[nymr83]

Carter should have been a Met!

He was. One of the better trades of the entire 1980s

Met Totals

Jeff Kent: 61 votes (14.5%)

Livan Hernandez: 1 vote (0.2%)
Jason Isringhausen: 0 votes

I guess for Vlad going in as an Angel represents a smarter $$ choice too, along with the other stuff.

Absolutely loved him as an Expo, always seemed happy out there.
