Re: My Hall of Fame Ballot
I don't think Tim Raines will make the Hall of Fame. He does not have the career stats that the voters look at. If he could have made it to 3000 hits he would be voted in. He also probably makes it playing in New York or Boston in his prime. 1500+ runs scored should help his case some.
I think he is a marginal candidate that probably should be in the HOF. He was probably the second best leadoff hitter of his generation. I think voters give way too much weight to power stats and also ignore the value that walks add to a players value.
Thank you,
