In other HOF voting. Schilling looks like he is ready to get in next year and well deserved in my opinion.
Unfortunately Bond and Clemens are not moving up as much as I like, because I personally think they should be in. Especially Bonds what that man could do on a baseball field was unrivaled at his peak, yes I know he was aided, but so were many others at that time, none of them came even close to his crazy OBP, I mean we talk about 400 like it was great this guy had a OBp over 600 in on one year, Look at all the other and tell me anyone was even close they were;t. Plus this guy was a no doubt HOF before, would of he hit 762, absolutely not, but would of easily had 500+ homer (Probably more like 600+) and 500+ SB you would be hard pressed to find that combo. I think it is a joke that he is not in the HOF, but that is me I guess. I also think it is more of a joke that clemens although a great pitcher, wasn't as legendary as Bonds was who would vote for clemens and not bonds, I don't get that at all, that baffles me.
In other news the undeserving Vizquel will eventually get in I know he was a great defender, but he didn't hit for average, he didn't hit for obp, he didn't hit for power, he didn't have 3000 hits. I just don't get the appeal. I have to be honest, not a HOF in my opinion, not even close.
Wagner and Rolen Made huge moves, I happen to think Wagner is a HOF Closer, I also think Lee smith getting in helped his case. Rolen to me is a guy who was great defensively, but I still don't think he did enough, for me he on the wrong side.
Other people Nice to see Kent Jump, he is perhaps the most disrespected HOF I have ever seen, How anyone would vote for vizquel and not kent is baffling to me. Kent was a vastly superior player and it isn't even close. Hopefully he can start moving up like walker did because he was one of the best power hitting 2b I have seen since I watched baseball and he gets 0 respect.
Sheffield jumped, Great hitter, on paper is a HOF, but the issue that hold many candidates back is there, so for me They have to be legendary to put them in, and Sheffield although a excellent player is not a legendary for me. So I would probably say no. Too Me manny is waaaaay better, but that is just me, he to me is probably a HOF, but not like Bonds and clemens Who should already be in they are no doubters for me they were so good it makes the issue irrelevant for me.
Others I saw that interest me Helton moved up to me is not a HOF, not as good of player as walker in my opinion who was borderline, but a yes for me. Glad to see Abreu stay on the ballot he deserves too and should eventually move up to me he was a good of player as larry walker was. Similar caliber. To me he was very underappreciated. And too me he should get in, he was a excellent player in my opinion. I don't think people realize this about Abreu, but 11 straight years where he scored or drove in 100 runs. That to me isa way you should get in to be that consistent. I know people don't like compilers, but if you score or drive in 100 in a year you had a hof year you do that 11 times your a hof in my opinion.
