We should have discussed Harrison Bader

How did this guy get 10 mil? Terrible signing. -

=Cowtipper post_id=143932 time=1704042873 user_id=166] 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.

Even trying to take away the roids, there are three or four candidacies I find it hard to place behind his. 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.
-
Very unlikely that he will even sniff Wright in any of the important rate stats, though yes if he stays relatively healthy he will end his met career with 30% more plate appearances and therefore catch Wright in many counting stats.
-
No way does he catch David Wright.

This roster feels brutal right now.

Keep creating and expanding orientation and transition programs for young people who are becoming suddenly very rich young people. The NBA does it, I don't know if MLB does, but build and grow those programs. Give young players a veteran player "big brother" or sponsor or something. Education and guidance. And hospitals. One of my all time favorite YouTube clips (serious ones, not funny shit) remains Herm Edwards talking to incoming rookies about fame and money

That is some hardcore trolling

May we exchange words about Lucas Giolito?

Other than #4 these seem like Fred Wilpon criteria. -
The argument AGAINST Billy Wagner is a pretty strong one. He lowers the current innings pitched bar by more than 10% from the current lowest guy (Bruce Sutter) in the hall. I personally don't think Sutter should be in either.
-
Then he posted a bunch of crying people GIFs when people were critical. I get that Twitter is just a nest of hate speech. But he's the California Opinion Editor for McClatchy Newspapers. He's posting as a professional and needs to act like a professional. If I was his editor, I'm be disappointed in his behavior more than his ballot. The behaviour is worthy of discipline. The ballot is justifiable if your stance is "no proven steroid guys" and Beltre/Beltran are pretty arguably the two best guys left.
-
I don't get the Andruw Jones or Bobby Abreu love from all the voters who let Kenny Lofton and Jim Edmonds sink off the ballot so fast.

Hiding from authorities when you are probably one of the top ten most recognizable celebrities in your country? Not a very well thought out move.

Hope he sucks bhmc

Plans A, B, C & D seem to end up on the DL most years. You can do a lot worse than to acquire a guy capable of going out there and throw up a league-average ERA in exchange for an injured minor leaguer. Houser isn't the exciting acquisition, he is the guy you are excited is there when Severino is back on the DL April 10th. He was probably only available because his arbitration salary actually matters to a club like Milwaukee, while Steve Cohen will pay him out of his piggy bank.
-
I thought he was going to be a moron or making some dumb point, but he is just a "small hall" guy and Beltre is on the wrong side of the line for him. Respectable, even if I disagree. There, I save you all a read.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Sandy Koufax got in based on ten years. If Koufax had followed 1966 with three or four mediocre years, would that have damaged his chances? Or (and this is what I'm thinking) is it that Koufax's ten years were a lot better than Wright's ten years? Good one! But Koufax had that four year peak ('63-'66) which was kinda like Gooden in '84 and '85 only for twice as long. What was it that Koufax famously said about Gooden after the '85 season: "I'd rather have his future instead of my past." Koufax probably had the greatest peak ever, at least until Pedro came along
