    Baseball HOF 2014

    It looks like a good number of guys should make it from this group, at least eventually.

    I hate the voting protocol and all that nonsense, especially this sort of report:
    This writer, Ken Gurnick, has a pretty ridiculous angle-
    http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/stor...ck-morris-vote

    Maddux, Thomas, Glavine and Biggio seem most likely to me...but I could make cases for about 6-7 other players eligible - Piazza, Raines, etc.
    Either you are a Hall of Famer or you are not, just vote 'em in.

    Wondered what everyone thinks on the subject?

    Also, to note on the writer Gurnick's stance, the careers of Jack Morris and Greg Maddux overlapped a total of 9 seasons. That makes it hard to say they are from completely different eras....

    Although not proven, wasn't Piiazza mentioned as using PEDS?

    I think that's a waste of a vote based on his opinion and it should be taken away from him. I also think people that vote ridiculously, such as voting Molina 10th or leaving him off all together, for MVP....they should have their votes taken away too. Maybe some of the voting for these awards should come from players/coaches. And yes I know HOF and season awards are different animals.

    Piazza and bagwell will both get in, although maybe not this year

    This year I think biggio MIGHT get left out
    Locks are Maddox and Thomas. Close to lock but not definite is glavine. Biggio should get in this season but weirder things have happened.

    Piazza greatest hitting catcher ever, and you. Cant believe every rumour you hear, and even if you do , I am of the " so what" school

    I hope one day bonds and Clemens get in. They were both hall of famers all throughout career, not just some freak pop due to use.

    Everybody has to be let in, plain and simple. If Biggio or Piazza tried juicing for a few weeks one offseason but didn't like it and quit, are they as guilty as Clemens and Bonds? Where do you draw the line?
    Everybody needs to get in, including the Crime Dog who's one of the real victims here.
