whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 02/01/2026I think even if he falls short in year 10 with something like 60%, that'd make him a lock for a veterans committee ballot on his first go. 000 0

whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 31/12/2025A guy who’s been at risk of falling off for a few years now is Torii Hunter. Would you ever consider throwing him a vote? He’s not the most exciting sabermetric candidate (better than Omar though), but it feels like a CF with 9 Gold Gloves and 353 dingers should get more consideration. 100 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 31/12/2025You say in the article you would have voted for 12-13 players if you had space, and list Mark Buehrle as one, but who were the other 1-2? 100 0

whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Alright, whatever. A museum about baseball is incomplete without crucial players such as, let's say, the MLB Hits leader, or, the Home Run King, or maybe, the pitcher with the most Cy Young awards. That's my take, regardless of character, they belong in the hall, you feel differently, that's all. 000 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 18/12/2025From that perspective I see what you mean lol. 000 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 18/12/2025But you ARE okay with card carrying Klansmen like Tris Speaker and Rogers Hornsby being in the hall? Pete Rose by all accounts seemed like a scumbag, but he's a scumbag who's important to the game of baseball. Also it's hardly an honor for him, because the sum'bitch died. He'll watching from hell. 100 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 18/12/2025At what point did I say “I think Pete Rose is a good person“? Newsflash, I didn’t. Pete Rose belongs in the hall of fame for the same reason Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens do. It’s impossible to tell the story of baseball without them. 100 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Like I said, there are KLANSMEN in the hall. The character clause is just an excuse voters use to not vote for players they dislike. Also it’s only ever used to keep people out, rather than put them in. 100 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Please explain this ballot without sounding like a Homer. Is Beltran out because of the 2017 Astros? Is Jones out because of the Domestic Abuse? You left steroid guys off for the steroids? What about Bobby Abreu and Cole Hamels? Those guys are also former Phillies. 000 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 18/12/2025There are Klansmen in the Hall Of Fame. It isn’t the hall of good people. The man with the most hits in MLB history belongs in the Hall of Fame, that really shouldn’t be a hot take. 100 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Difference is Pete Rose is a HOFer and Jimmy Rollins isn’t. 000 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 18/12/2025As a fellow “Rollins isn’t a HOFer” believe, this is crazy to say when Hunter Pence is also on the ballot lmao. 100 0

whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 14/12/2025I appreciate the Bobby Abreu flip! What was it about his case that convinced you? 020 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 12/12/2025Fair enough I suppose. I believe the only reason that is the case is because he wasn't a big home run hitter in the steroid era. Both Vaughn and Guerrero hit over 40 homers while Bobby had just 20. Yet despite that, Vaughn still had a lower Slug than Abreu! Shows how much of an XBH machine he was. 000 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 12/12/2025Ryan Braun instead of Bobby Abreu is one of the takes of all time. Of all of the takes there are, this is one of them. 050 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 12/12/2025By that logic, why was Vlad Guerrerro Sr. on the 68-94 Expos 11th in MVP voting that same year? Worse in every rate stat except slug. They play the same position and were in the same division, yet Vlad was higher in the votes. Also, Sean Casey and Barry Larkin on the 1999 Reds recieved MVP votes. 100 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 12/12/2025Here's why I find that to be a silly reason to leave anyone off. Below is a comparison of Bobby Abreu and Greg Vaughn's 1999 season. Look at these two seasons and tell me which one finished 4th in the NL, and which one finished in 23rd? MVP voting is highly flawed. 100 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 11/12/2025What's the rationale for voting for Jimmy Rollins, and NOT for Bobby Abreu? Sure Rollins was better defensively, but not to the extent it pushes him to having a better resume than Abreu. 130 0

whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 08/12/2025What’s the reasoning for voting Pedroia and not Wright? I think neither are HOFers for clarity sake, I just don’t understand the logic behind voting one and not the other. 100 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 07/12/2025It was mostly based on the fact that you’d not responded in 2 days. I apologize if it seemed as if I was disrespecting you. 100 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 07/12/2025@boomskie.bsky.social Gonna assume you lost interest in the discussion. I'll say this though, if you struggle to find a reason someone is NOT a hall of famer, they might be a hall of famer. 100 0

whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Why not? The list of players who have gotten on base more times than him to not be in the hall is 8 players long, and 7 of them are either scandalized, or haven't become eligible yet. Only other guy on here has 1200 more PAs. He's also ahead of some inner circle guys. What's keeping him out for you? 100 0
whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 05/12/2025The Wiz is only in the Hall because he's the greatest defenseman ever. Ozzie has the highest DWar of all time, Rollins has less DWar than JJ Hardy. In my opinion the other Phillie to vote for is Bobby Abreu. He got on base more times than Tony Gwynn for pete sake! What's your take on him? 110 0

whirlpool730.bsky.social @whirlpool730.bsky.social · 03/12/2025I'm in agreement though that Whitaker belongs in the hall. But comparing his numbers to Rollins, it's clear Lou was a better player, at least offensively. 100 0
