Cowtipper Old-Timey Member Posted 53 minutes ago Posted 53 minutes ago This might be worth separating from the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee ballot thread, as I think it is worthy of its own discussion. Alderson is on the ballot, and a few of our members voted for him for election in the poll on the other thread (see here). So, let's discuss his Hall of Fame argument. What qualifications does he have? Why should he be in? Why shouldn't he? What are his strengths, what are his weaknesses? I, personally, don't support him, but am historically a big Hall sort of person, so I could be swayed. But, right now at first blush, to me he would belong in the "Hall of Very Good" for executives. In doing some more research, I don't think his induction would hurt the Hall, but it's one of those cases where there's plenty of deserving guys ahead of him, so perhaps he should wait.
