2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

[macbk]

Pettitte is a lock too, even with the roid admittance.

I don't know about that.

Same here.

His biggest strike is that he's the long lost brother of Andrew Cunanan

Surely his postseason numbers can't be overlooked though right?

 

[RyGuy45]

Bonds would be getting in faster, as would Rocket, if they would stop lying to the public and acting like children. It's pretty much as simple as that.

You want in on the HOF, you gotta stop acting like we are all idiots and finally own up to what you did. Maybe it "didn't help you." Fair enough. But stop lying and telling us you "did nothing."

That's just IMO though and I don't have a problem if people say they should be in regardless of the lies (and usage).

 

[Retroballer]

Griffey being the 1st #1 overall pick to make the hall is an interesting fact.

 

[macbk]

Griffey win don a M's cap, Piazza a Met.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Wilpons would retire piazza's number if it didn't cost money to do so

Yea he's not getting in.

Johnny Damon?

Would love to see manny in but he's not getting votes after getting busted twice

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Only a Yankees fan could so off-handily say something so untrue as "Pettitte's a lock" when he shouldn't even come close to touching the hall

I'm just devastated we will be robbed by the greatness that would be the Manny Ramirez HOF speech...**** Old Baseball *****

Maybe "lock" was a bit of a stretch, but how can you say the idea is "something so untrue" .

 

[rolaholic]

With all this steroid era hall talk,you guys think Papi makes it? I feel he's earned it

 

[HIM]

Crazy Bonds stat of the day.

In 2016, Barry Bonds still did not get into the Hall of Fame.

Wow. Crazy.

Piazza's 1997 season :x


152 G, 104 R, 201 H, 32 2B, 40 HR, 124 RBI, .362 BA, .638 SLG, 185 OPS+



Coming around the bend for HOF:


2017
Vlad Guerrero
Jorge Posada

Manny Ramirez

Pudge Rodriguez
Magglio Ordonez


2018

Chipper Jones

Jim Thome
Scott Rolen

Andruw Jones

Omar Vizquel
Johnny Damon


2019

Mariano Rivera
Roy Halladay
Todd Helton

Andy Pettite
Lance Berkman

Roy Oswalt

I agree with these. A few of them, I would have to look up stats. Andruw Jones was so damn good. He's underrated.

 

[khalilmack52]

Denard Span to Giants

 

[nomnom]

I will take it!

 

[madj55]

Damn, gonna miss Span. Solid player, his hip must be feeling better to get a three year deal.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Span, Pagan, Pence

The all DL outfield

Healthy that's a nice trio but they're all due to miss at least 40 games a year.

 

[Los Angeles]

I like the sound of that

 

[danikerhino]

Span, Pagan, Pence

The all DL outfield

Healthy that's a nice trio but they're all due to miss at least 40 games a year.

Pagan falls under that catagory but I believe Pence should be fine if he sits out games here and there and Span I think will have some games out, but not 40.

[dman14]

if edgar aint in, david shouldnt be in either

 

[darthska]

I've completely softened my stance over the years.

Numbers get you in.

Pete, Barry, Alex, Roger, Mark

We need to stop romanticizing a league built on racism, spitballs, stealing signs, corked bats, pine tar, and Eight Men Out.

Same here, I bet there's hella people that played dirty in the HOF.

Somehow those are more romantic ways of cheating (besides the gambling)

 

[celticspride34]

Johnny Damon?

Johnny Damon has a lot better numbers than I think you realize... Nearly 2800 hits in your career is really Damn impressive... Not saying he's a HOF'er, but he's certainly not instantly dismissed...
