That might be true, however: the Marlins have 1) Don Mattingly, who is literally allergic to World Series rings and 2) Barry Bonds, who was cursed with incredible baseball skill in exchange for never receiving a ring
In addition, it's literally an even year.

>>68969095
It's not publicly known whether Bonds received a 2010 ring (it was rumored), and I don't think he got one in 2012, but he definitely did get one in 2014 as a spring training advisor.

>trying to stop

>>68977804
Lol, no. Just for reasons
I know I've posted this stuff quite a bit, but I just think it's interesting (autism).
Ever since the BBWAA started their crusade against everyone they "suspected" or knew of using roids save a sacred few "clean", I've toyed with the idea of a live-ball HOF; I figure part of their logic is also comparing the roid-era players solely to players from before the live-ball era, which is fucking absurd.
So I came up with the "live-ball Hall" idea. Only a few rules:
>careers must have STARTED in or after 1920, when the live-ball was implemented (sorry, Babe)
>top 10 in career JAWS at their position are automatically in
>top 10 in career WAR are also automatics, even if they're not top 10 in JAWS
>above rules apply for the top 25 starting pitchers and 5 relief pitchers on each leaders list
>players who are real HOFers but not on the lists are still HOFers
>banned players (basically Pete Rose) are not considered
>"steroid"/stimulant/drug use is not taken into consideration unless they led to the player(s) being banned
I realize this isn't perfect, but neither is the BBWAA's method. There may be players who don't deserve to be within a mile of Cooperstown, or some surprising omissions from the real thing. Feel free to deb8.
For example, here's the list for starting pitchers who would, in theory, make the Hall:
>Live-Ball HOF Starting Pitchers
Roger Clemens
Tom Seaver
Lefty Grove
Randy Johnson
Greg Maddux
Warren Spahn
Bob Gibson
Phil Niekro
Bert Blyleven
Steve Carlton
Gaylord Perry
Pedro Martinez
Robin Roberts
Fergie Jenkins
Curt Schilling
Mike Mussina
Tom Glavine
Nolan Ryan
Jim Palmer
Wes Ferrell
Bob Feller
Hal Newhouser
Roy Halladay
Juan Marichal
Carl Hubbell
Ted Lyons
Red Ruffing
Rick Reuschel
John Smoltz
Kevin Brown
Remember, I used the top 25 starting pitchers by JAWS, then compared it with the top 25 SP by career WAR list, and added any from the latter but not the former.
I'll post the lists for other positions as well.

>>68978014
and that's including the old-timers (who aren't included in my theoretical HOF), who had an easier time racking up stats because the elite ones tended to play for so goddamn long.
Now, relief pitchers.
>Relief Pitchers
Dennis Eckersley
Mariano Rivera
Hoyt Wilhelm
Rich Gossage
Bobby Shantz
Tom Gordon
Trevor Hoffman
Bruce Sutter
Rollie Fingers
You'll notice this one's a bit wonky, because there are about 6 and only 6 deserving relief pitchers. Had to include the last two even though they're way behind the others because HOFers, and Tom Gordon because I believe he got shafted–he was solid as a starter, reliever and closer.
>>68978189

Joe Mauer

Simmons is the only non-active, non-HOFer, and of course Mauer's still playing. Hartnett was in the top 10 for WAR, so he's in as well.
Now here's where it really gets fun.

Jim Thome
Miguel Cabrera
Rafael Palmeiro

Yes, Palmeiro's pretty much exiled, but he wasn't banned, from baseball. But he's 10th in JAWS, so he's on the list.
And the 2Bs.

>>68978408
like I said in the OP, there could be some surprises numberswise in comparing guys from different eras.
>>68978486
Because Mo's #2 behind Eck as the best reliever ever, and I say that because Eck was more versatile as a relief guy. I included active and in-between (on HOF ballot or waiting the 5 years) players because... well, if I didn't, some positions would get thin real fast.

The 2010 Rangers werent a world series caliber team in 2010 they built a team that could beat the Yankees after coming off the 2009 win, we totally expected to play them in the ALDS and then that was it no one really expected them to go to a world series. The Rangers fought hard against the Rays in the ALDS who at that time were a legitimate deep playoff run team. Remember the Rangers were fresh off bankruptcy and being owned by the league.
If the Rangers played SF now they would take the series 4-2

I'm predicting that the next HOF class will be Bags, I-Rod, Raines, and Hoffman, like it or not; you don't get 67% without waiting much longer to get in. Outside shots are Schilling and Vlad Guerrero, perhaps Clemens and/or Bonds if the writers get their heads out of their asses.

the giants are contenders with a great rotation, they aren't a meme team, they do everything the right way
dodgers are a mediocre team with an elite ace

Lillie's played tough and got a lot of good breaks, plus playing all these back ups so many games they eventually gonna play down to their true levels...all these meaning whoever is playing RF for pence and 3rd for Duff man

someone is mega-booty-blasted about roiders. I don't know why, though. Numbers on a list don't lie:

>15 years
considering Red Sox stars always seem to have a seven-year itch, I honestly could not tell you. Honestly, I hope Tim Wakefield gets in (this will be his first ballot), but I know he doesn't have a shot in hell.
>>68979035
Griffey is going in this year.
Ichiro will probably be retired after 2017 so about 7-8 years and he's in.
Felix probably won't last another 10 years so I think he'll get in on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year.
Edgar has 3 years left and likely won't be elected (reeee)
Cano will be going in as a Yankee I think

Yet the Rangers completely embarrassed the defending world series champions. Made that team of overpaid faggots look like a little league team
>>68979328
so why dont you like either team?
If you're in the easy bay, go with the A's, or if you want to go with the giants do that
or do what I do and support both, since theyre in alternate leagues

nice rolls
Omar is 41st in JAWS and 30th in WAR, so the numbers wouldn't support him. He's a guy I like and wish, too, will get in, but I doubt he'll make it.
Lofton is really underrated as both a fielder and baserunner, and I don't know why he and Jim Edmonds both slipped through the cracks just like that, considering they're two of the top 5 CFs of the 90s/00s.
>>68979285
like Raines, Edgar has the mystical Vets Committee to possibly shoehorn him in. It's a possibility.
>>68979410
not even joking, I like both teams. But I wouldnt wear that shitty hat
>>68979376
and if they both go to the WS?
c-can you do that?

should clarify that those Omar rankings are among shortstops only
here's your all-time GOAT batting lineup according to these lists:
1. Joe Morgan
2. Alex Rodriguez
3. Barry Bonds
4. Mike Schmidt
5. Lou Gehrig
6. Willie Mays
7. Hank Aaron
8. Johnny Bench
9. Dennis Eckersley
10. [insert DH here]

It kinda sucks that Thome will be the only inductee from those 90's tribe teams. If they won an eries maybe Omar and Kenny could have snuck in.

Lofton got fucked over because there was a lot eligible players still left and not enough votes to go around. The whole process was shit and unfortunately I don't see the Veterans Committee fixing that mistake later.

If Manny somehow gets in I think he said he'd wear an Indians hat, as silly as it might seem.
so i watched the phenom today and it was a really weird movie, ethan hawk, and giamatti were excellent as you would expect. It had a lot less to do with actual baseball situations than you would expect, its really focused on characters and authentic conversations and events. It has hints of themes from whiplash although very minimal. As a baseball movie you probably wont enjoy it but its worth watching in my opinion. Overall i enjoyed it but the ending felt unsatisfying and "scattered", didnt really get any cathartic payoff or anything but i guess that would be pretty stereotypical and cheesy which this movie avoids pretty much entirely.
overall solid 7/10

did they even have any good homegrown SPs? I remember seeing Gooden and Herschiser on a few of them
>>68979728
well, he's been in two killer 3-4 combos in his career, either one would be cool with me. The Sox already have Dewey as a #24, but his isn't retired because club policy is 10 years with the team plus HOF, and would kinda seem wrong to me. just me rambling though, I say he deserves election, but they roiding and the way his career ended will bite him in the ass, big-time, when election time rolls round.
>>68979415
Yep because Yankees fluked into 2009 and it showed when they got exposes
When the FUCK will this garbage end?
