Agreed, if you look at his stats, he’s essentially Sandy Koufax (amazing peak, but limited career outside of that peak, though a notch below Koufax) without the WS wins.

How in the, is Billy Wagner projected to have 7x the votes that Santana is? What is this cruel world.

I feel the same way. For 5 years he was what Kershaw is now, hands down the best pitcher in baseball, and a lefty to boot. My theory is he was the very first victim of the curse that stemmed from Citi Field obviously being built on an Indian Burial Ground. That said, he deserves way more than 1.9% of the vote.

Especially since Frank Thomas went in on roller skates, and he spent a ton of time at DH.

Fucking hell you old farts. Like it or not, the DH is part of the game. Martinez belongs in the Hall.

I don’t care which cap he goes in with, I just want to see Moose in the hall.

Going just based on eye test, Edgar Martinez seems like he should be in. But I don’t know the sabermetric case for/against.

Beef Wellington Mara in this case.

Made beef wellington for Christmas. It actually isn’t that complicated, just expensive ingredients wise.

I thought of trying the same joke but was worried about my execution. Thank you for being a martyr.

I still haven’t finished Suikoden II either and I made this fucking account when I started playing it, or close to it.

Another day, another outrage. I’m pretty sure there’s some language buried in there somewhere mandating mass killings of puppies and kittens.

Lennon and McCartney alone DESTROY the curve for secular holiday music.

Note that “lawyer money” is not on the same level as “Arab Money”

I’d argue that his base stealing is way more positive than his baserunning. I saw him run the O’s out of too many innings this past season. Now, I’m not saying that’s enough to warrant dealing him as he’s a clutch hitter and his fielding is sublime but, if there’s one thing to improve on to put him into the top 3…

Good commentary. And I agree about Trout. He is Mickey Mantle.

The Davis contract was a crime against the people of Baltimore. I love Chris. But a complete crime.

They need a salary floor more than a cap.

I tend to agree with all of that but Dave Cameron says the trade was not as bad as it is being made out to be and he tends to know more about baseball than most people. He argues that the prospects have some significant upside. he also blames MLB for allowing Loria (whome he calls “a swindler”) to create this…
