Jeff Kent, Andruw Jones, and Carlos Beltran were fine players. They were very good players But truly when they were active did anyone think they were watching a Hall of Famer. I doubt it.
I thought Dick Allen and Dave Parker were borderline choices last year. They won MVP and seemed to be the best players in the league for about a year or two.
Harold Baines got in. Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio (ok he got 3000 hits) were borderline.
The problem with the hall of fame began years ago when they put all of those players in from the 1920s and 1930s who did not really deserve it - but when the 1960s and 1970s were happening those batting averages from those players in the 20s and 30s, made them look like gods. Of course the NL hit .300 in 1930.
Who is not in
Joe Jackson - 2nd highest batting average all time
Pete Rose - All time hit King
Barry Bonds - let me see Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron steal 500 bases.
Roger Clemens - 7 Cy Youngs
A-Rod - are you kidding me there is not a pill that can make you hit
Manny Rameriz - He was baseball for 10 years - Dominate
Mark McGuire - When you saw him play - he was greatness
Rafael Palmerio - To me he was borderline and like some of the players from the 1920s and 1930s who had inflated stats but he probably should be in.
