Mets Hall of Fame Group E

[Guest Edgy DC]

Of which four do you sing?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Just Davey.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Davey and Hunt, and I would listen to arguments about Sid.

[soupcan]

Johnson, Fernandez, Hunt, Mazzilli.

[Guest themetfairy]

Davey

[seawolf17]

Hunt, Davey, Sid.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is a strong group.

In addition to my 4 (Hunt, Johnson, Noble, Mazzilli) I'd consider Sid and Trachsel (isn;t he the winningest Met of the 00s or something?

[MFS62]

Davey, Hunt and El Cid.
Later

[Guest Edgy DC]

Surprised to see Hurt and Likely Bruised Ron Hunt running second in this group.

[Guest Kong76]

Davey and Marty

[G-Fafif]

Sid, Davey, Mazzilli, Hunt. Would have loved to have snuck Ventura in there, but he was tackled by his teammates at second.

Davey is a no brainer.

Marty is tougher - I think he deserves to be in, but that can't be done until after he retires from the beat.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm not sure why retirement should be a pre-requisite, especially for guys with the type of job they can keep doing until forever.

Similarly, I don't think it's necessary to withold a vote for Valentine because you want him back to. Nothing wrong with a Hall of Famer continuing to work or returning to work.

[ashie62]

Hunt, first AS..no Marty Noble..Already voted for lang or my era

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Davey, Davey Johnson, the only one I voted for here.


Ron Hunt was close, but he was only around for three years.

I think I worded that poorly. I think Bobby is a not quite yet - He would need to add to his credentials to be put in, and I want them to hire him back. Two separate things, actually.

As for Marty, I'm thinking retirement would be a pre-requisite for the same reason that some papers don't allow their writers to vote on post-season awards. There could be a sense of a conflict of interest.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, I hear you, but he's got no conflict with us. We's independent.

[Theoldmole]

No love for Robin?

[Benjamin Grimm]

He wasn't around nearly long enough.

[G-Fafif]

Only three years, but the first one was the equivalent to an eternity of bliss.
