To me he is after Rollins and even Petite - he didn't even hit 1,000 innings! A hall with Billy Wagner has lowered the longevity bar too much.

Wright is still hanging on at over 5%. I'm surprised. It might seem sacrilegious, but he never struck me as a Hall of Famer. Reyes hopefully gets a little support; he's not good enough for 5%, but he should get SOME love. Colon has a vote already, which is cute. Abreu is one of those guys who'll stick around for the full 10 years then get elected via the VC in 25 years.

Andruw Jones in the Post-Season: .273 / .363 / .433 // .796 in 279 plate appearances.



That's nothing to sneeze at.



Carlos Beltrán in the Post-Season: .307 / .412 / .609 // 1.021 in 256 plate appearances.



How does this stunning performance get buried in Carlos' story? Yeah, we have a lot more in post-season opportunities these days, and even though some of it is against lesser competition, the greater volume should be expected to normalize high slash numbers.



But Beltrán put up post-season numbers that Reggie Jackson wishes he had. He also went 11-for-11 in stolen-base attempts.

I'm guessing it's the fall out from his last postseason run that is keeping Beltran from the Hall!

Yes, Beltran is undoubtedly suffering the repercussions of being one of the players most associated with the trash can banging.

Metirish, you should change your screen name to Kornacki during the vote.

We can just picture you at the big board, leading us through the counts.

He fucking cheated. What he did is no different than than if the Astros planted bugs and surveillance cameras in the visitors locker room and dugout. Or a listening device in the pitcher's mound.

I have to wonder why Peter Schmuck hasn't changed his name.
