What is more impressive, a player that accumulates above average numbers for

15-20 years like many in the Hall of Fame or a guy that dominated for a decade? Why would you hold Dale Murphy to a different standard than Koufax? Koufax was amazing for only 5 years. The rest of his career was average and he did not have longevity.

Dang, was hoping we'd get two more Braves in today, not just one.

Make an argument based on his old stats that aren't an arbitrary time period then.

You mean make an argument that fits your criteria, which you don’t disclose

2000 hits and 400 homers .265/.346./.469. 46 WAR. Really good career. Not HOF. I’m sorry you see it differently than

I can respect that you disagree that he should be in. It is hard for many of his

The standard shouldn’t be “better than the worst HOFers.” I agree there are people worse than him in the hall.

I get it. I’m saying it’s a hard pill to swallow.

I get it. If the committee that voted on Kenny lofton keeps him out we riot.

Dale didn’t have 5 seasons like Koufax. If you think Koufax should be out, go for it.

I don’t think Koufax should be out. He was

I'm surprised at the Schilling decision. I thought the committee would put him in for sure. The Crimedog may get the

The writer’s ballot is so barren right now after years of having too many options.

Not sure why you’re so high on Schilling. 216 wins and career 3.46 ERA

Thank you for using wins and ERA in this post. The worst numbers was the cherry on top. Have a good evening.

Uh they are the 2nd worst career numbers of any in the hall.

Well deserved for McGriff. I cannot believe the baseball writers did not

They randomly cut the vote process from 15 down to 10 years, and he was constantly on loaded ballots
