The New Hall of Fame
Hey folks. I have been doing a little research on possible Hall of Fame caliber currently active and have ran into a lot of fringe/close calls. Based on what I'm reading in a lot of articles, the majority of writers/bloggers don't seem to give credit to modern players where it seems to be due.
Few examples... Hits/HR/RBI/SB/AVG/OBP/SLG
Player A stats: 1842/360/1200/86/.296/.409/.545
Player B stats: 2011/359/1337/28/.312/.397/.562
Player A is a current player never associated with steroid use yet widely considered to fall short of the Hall of Fame and player B is in the Hall of Fame.
Player C stats: 2160/383/1311/230/.313/.400/.565
Player D stats: 2116/407/1333/99/.295/.380/.540
Player C is a recent player who received just over 20% of the vote in his first crack at the Hall of Fame. Player D is a Hall of Famer.
Player A is Lance Berkman. Player B is Johnny Mize. Placer C is Larry Walker. Player D is Duke Snider.
My question: Where is the love for the current stars?
I'll attach a poll to this thread, but I look forward to seeing what everyone thinks.Collecting Cardinals jerseys and bats, with a focus on Yadier Molina, Matt Holliday, and Adam Wainwright.
