I’m not sure this declares Papi a lock like you want.
I’m looking at a list of 10 guys. And 4 or most likely 5 of them will end up in the Hall.
If anything, this list proves that the guy who thinks there is some debate about Papi’s Hall credentials (me) is being more reasonable, than the person who think he’s a…

When did I say DHs shouldn’t get in? No where. That’s where!

Edgar belongs in the Hall. Edgar belongs in the Hall more than Papi does. Papi might also belong in the Hall.

A couple of postseason games does not make Papi a better, more deserving player than Edgar. Let’s get the MOST deserving DH in the Hall first...and…

“If a closer can get in for pitching an inning here or there, a DH should get in for playing every goddamn day, and putting up those numbers.”

I was specifically responding to the Edgar comp. I think DHs should get in. I just don’t think worse players (Papi) should get in over better ones (Edgar).

Also...what was wrong…

What do you take issue with? Or are you the exact kind of person I was just talking about...someone who has no real argument just a casual understanding that Papi did something good once, right?

If it’s such a spicy meatball...it should be pretty easy for you to have a resopnse, no?

Counter-counter point: this is exactly the kind of deep thinking that supports Papi for the Hall.

Fuck Jack Morris.
10 amazing innings doesn’t make up for a career of being good, not great.

Vlad is my favorite-est player ever. I saw him play AA in Harrisburg. I am an Expos fan still, and a Nationals fan in reality BECAUSE of Vlad.

Is it weird that I can totally understand why someone would think he’s not a HOFer?

What age am I for those 10 years?
I’m a pretty healthy dude. So, if I get out under 40, I’m in.

I hate Schilling.
I will join in that meme-fest.

Ortiz will be a player people look back at in 50 years and wonder...wtf is this guy doing here?
Everyone remembers Bobby Thomson and Kirk Gibson. Everyone that remembers Papi will remember Dave Roberts. None of those guys is in the Hall, yet we manage to remember them.
Christ. Insufferable prick, Curt Schilling has…
