pmoehrin Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It would be nice if some of those "either Jack Morris is getting in or nobody is getting in" voters would get off their moral high horse and support Alan Trammell who has a far better case for the Hall than Morris.People can go into the offseason thread to see my picks and what I think of each, but I have my own HOF as a side project where I induct three players in even years, two in odd years starting in 1936 and keeping in line with MLB's eligibility rules (for anyone curious the three inductees I had this year were Ken Griffey, John Smoltz and Frank Thomas, last year was just Pedro and Randy and '14 was Greg Maddux, Mike Mussina and Curt Schilling) and under my system Alan Trammell would have been inducted in 2002.What that tells me is either myself or the HOF is extremely far off on Alan Trammell's standing in history and I don't think its me. Shortstops with over 2,000 hits and multiple deserving gold gloves to their name tend to get in pretty easily for me because go through the names of everyone else that's done that and you'll see my point.So based off of your post in the Hot Stove thread, should I put your picks in for: Bonds, Clemens, Griffey, Mussina, Schilling, Bagwell, and Trammell? Those aren't the seven names I would vote for, those are just simply the seven people eligible where I simply just simply cannot come up with any reason why I would say no to them. Under any standard these should be no brainer HOF members.If I actually had a HOF vote, I'm not so sure I would go down the Bustey Olney route and just obtain indefinitely.Part of the reason is PED's, part of the reason is an antiquated voting system and even more antiquated voters, but mostly it's because of the glut. Its gotten to the point where I have to say no to certain players who I think should be in, because the maximum number of players you can vote for is ten. So Jim Edmonds, McGwire, Nomar, Piazza, Sosa would all receive no votes from me if this was a real vote, even though I think all five are deserving of induction.Until the Hall of Fame is ready to start having multiple classes of five plus members, which is probably not going to happen anytime soon, the glut is just going to keep growing. But when voters can't even put someone in who was top ten in ERA 10 times in his career, what do you expect to happen?To follow up this point.http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/mike-piazza-hall-of-fame-vote-new-york-mets-los-angeles-dodgers-cooperstown-010316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 That's a pretty dumb reason. Voting for one guy over another because of the amount of eligibility left? A guy's not good enough to be elected to the Hall until his eligibility runs low? Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'll be accepting ballots until 11:59 p.m. EST tonight. The results will be announced tomorrow around the same time the actual results are being announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcake Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 The HoF show will be on from 3-7, with the big announcement coming at 6. The CCSLC results will be announced shortly afterwards.Right now, though, I'll be annoucning the names of the players who would fall off of the CCSLC ballot. The number of ballots was such that just one vote kept a guy on the ballot, so Gary Sheffield and Jim Edmonds were saved by LMU and Shumway, respectively.The players that will fall off of the ballot are as follows:Nomar GarciaparraJason KendallTroy GlausMike HamptonLuis CastilloRandy WinnGarret AndersonMike LowellBilly WagnerMark GrudzielanekMike SweeneyDavid EcksteinBrad Ausmus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Griffey and Piazza are in. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board. You are not entertaining, you are a complete joke." twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I knew Griffey was a lock (and he broke the percentage record with 99.3%), but it was great to hear that Piazza got in too. And Bagwell and Raines! SO close. But hopefully their showing this year is an indication that they'll make it next year. Hoffman looks like he's eventually gonna make it, too.

FGM13 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 This is cool: Griffey and Piazza become the highest (1st) and lowest (1390th) picks to make it into the HOF. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers6884 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Let it be known that I will NEVER set foot in Cooperstown until justice is served! Three people didn't vote for Griffey, and Bagwell was absolutely robbed by 5% of the voters! Trammell got screwed over as well, which pisses me off even further.

Cujo Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Nice to see Piazza get in. Too bad he had to wait four years because of all the steroid nonsense. For all we know, Griffey used as well, since they both had inflated HR numbers and "the look". Kind of stunned Griffey got 99.3% of the vote, an all-time high, considering his pedestrian decade in Cincy. Also, Griffey took the Cooperstown phone call from his kitchen, which is fitting as he's put on a good 50 lbs since his playing days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 THe writer that didn't vote for Griffey should have his vote revoked immediately. I'd love to hear the explanation for that one.

His dad kinda was too in his final days. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)
