Re: Future Hall of Famers? Future Eligibility

I would have to say Ted Simmons and Dale Murphy should be in the Hall Of Fame!!

Re: Future Hall of Famers? Future Eligibility

Makes me think the voters will have to go old school.
Maybe guys like Bert Blyleven, Jack Morris, and Jim Rice will get in.
and Goose Gossage or Lee Smith.


Who else am I forgetting?

Re: Future Hall of Famers? Future Eligibility

Here is a list of players that are eligible next year and beyond:
2008: A case could be made for Tim Raines, but that's marginal at best
2009: Rickey Henderson
2010: Roberto Alomar, Barry Larkin. Edgar Martinez would be a test case as a DH
2011: Jeff Bagwell
2012: none thus far

Re: Future Hall of Famers? Future Eligibility

Rickey Henderson and Palmero seem like the only ones truly deserving. As to the older players, I can't see Jack Morris being in there.

Re: Future Hall of Famers? Future Eligibility

To me it is hard to not justify Andre Dawson and Don Mattingly

But the fact that Ryne Sandberg wasn't a first ballot blows my mind

Re: Future Hall of Famers? Future Eligibility

That list represents a SERIOUS lack of quality HOF caliber players. Rickey Henderson stands out like a diamond in a goats ass.
