Re: 2007 MLB HOF Voting Poll
[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, what's with the no love for the career saves leader? NT [/ QUOTE ] He wasn't very good. What's with big swings in the number of votes that players get? In Sutter's first year of eligibility, he got 23.9% of the vote. Last year he got 76.9% to get elected. Is this difference because of turnover in voters? Or did half of the baseball writers change their minds on him?

[ QUOTE ]
Here's my ballot: 1. Cal Ripken, Jr. 2. Tony Gwynn 3. Goose Gossage - no reason Sutter should be in and him not. 4. Alan Trammell - it's a travesty he and Whitaker won't be ale to go in together 5. Bert Blyleven - It's a joke that he's not in 6. Mark McGwire - controversial pick... [/ QUOTE ] same.

Re: 2007 MLB HOF Voting Poll
Alan Trammell is getting less love than Jim Rice, Lee Smith, Don Mattingly, and Orel [censored] Hershiser for god's sake. That's horrible.

[/ QUOTE ] In terms of hitting, Rice and Mattingly were better than Trammell in practically every aspect except for stolen bases. On defense, Trammell certainly played more of a skill position, but to have defense as a consideration, he would need more than his 3 Gold Gloves. Then again, as a die-hard Yankees fan who grew up near the end of Donnie Baseball's career, I want to see Mattingly in the Hall of Fame, though I'm sure that won't happen.
