Do They Deserve to be in the Hall of Fame?

[1996]

George Brett 21 seasons 908 K's 10,000 AB

Manny Ramirez 16 Seasons 1622 K's 7,000 AB .... WOW!

[LRCW]

He said A, B, and C--not all 4.

 

Thanks. I misread that.

[NEERFAN]

I'd say B and C will have a spot in Cooperstown.

[NEERFAN]

I don't know who any of them are. But I'd rather see OBP than Avg.

 

Just looking at the current numbers I'd go with B and C

 

Thomas .420

Ramirez .408

Thome .407

Delgado .383

[LRCW]

Thomas .420

Ramirez .408

Thome .407

Delgado .383

 

 

D was Juan Gonzalez, and not Delgado. That was my mistake.

So are you going to call me or what?:irked:

Did you call me? :confused:

[stickymitts]

Did you call me? :confused:

 

Yes, and an email...

 

...and now a text...

[UKMustangFan]

AJG was correct, they are Thome, Thomas, Ramirez, & Juan Gone....And I agree with most that Thomas and Ramirez should be in. I found it interesting that they had such similar numbers though.

 

Here's another one...

has played for 14 years

 

W-65

L-47

ERA-2.30

Pitcher B:

SO-3116

 

Pitcher D:

I'd say A & D are definites for the pitchers, and C is probable as well.

[DragonFire]

Having looked at the names, I'd stick by that. A & D are mortal locks and C has a lot in his favor. I don't think B makes it.

C has a lot of intangibles that are going to help his case, which is why I think all but B make it.

[mcpapa]

Pitcher D looks a lot like Pedro Martinez...has he been pitching for 17 years? His winning percentage of nearly .700 gets him in easily if he gets to, say 250 wins lifetime.

[coldweatherfan]

A= Jim Thome - He's 38. I'm guessing he'll play 1-2 more years. Only needs 37 homeruns to finish his career in the top 10 all-time. If he makes the top 10 IMO he's in. If Reggie Jackson got in with his numbers Thome should be in.

 

B= Frank Thomas - Not very many guys hit 500+ HR and batted .300+. The Big Hurt is in.

 

C= Manny Ramirez - Only a handful of guys in the history of the game averaged 100 RBI per season. Manny is one of them. If he stays healthy for 4 more years he has a very legit shot at 600 HR and 2000 RBI, to go with his .313 BA. He's a strange dude, but he's also one of the best hitters to ever play. He's in.

 

D= Juan Gonzalez - Nope.

[DragonFire]

The four are:

 

A - Mariano Rivera

B - Billy Wagner

C - Curt Schilling

D - Pedro Martinez

 

On stats alone, Rivera and Martinez are going in, to say nothing of their names.

[coldweatherfan]

A - Mariano Rivera - Yes, he and Hoffman are what everybody else wants to be.

 

B - Billy Wagner - Yes. Needs only 12 saves to pass Eckersley for #5 all-time saves, and 46 to move to #4. He has 20 saves already this year, so if all goes well, he should be #5 before year end, and #4 sometime next year.

 

C - Curt Schilling - Nope.

 

D - Pedro Martinez - Undecided, but leaning towards no. The .693 win percentage is something very special. But on the other hand 212 wins is pretty far down the totem pole.
