    His post season accomplishments set him apart from other pitchers with similar regular season numbers.
    Success on the biggest stage has to count for something, otherwise we'd have a HOF filled with folks like Harold Baines.
    It's filling up that way so it seems.

    So with what you said does Beckett get more consideration because of his Post Season heroics?

    Nah, Beckett had only 138 wins and 1901 K's compared to Schilling's 210 and over 3,000.
    Beckett would have needed to pitch 10 CG shutouts including 3 no hitters in post season to get in with his regular season numbers.

    Schilling shouldn't be voted in for a long time. A lot better players have waited longer. Hell, Blyleven waited 14 fucking years to get in. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I agree.  I was asking your thoughts.  Thanks.

    I love the Schilling video game company story

    Curt Schilling. Jackass extraordinaire. Fucker argues on Twitter with anti-Trumpers.

    Bowman released their scouting report and here are the top 10 prospects this year.

    1 Wander Franco
    2 Luis Robert
    3 Jo Adell
    4 Gavin Lux
    5 Adley Rustchman
    6 Mackenzie Gore
    7 Nate Pearson
    8 Julio Rodriguez
    9 Jesus Luzardo
    10 Dylan Carlson

    I would expect a few of these guys to see playing time this year.  Gore should be a starter this year, he has been that good in the minors.

    The next few guys on the list should all see playing time and they are Kelenic, Pache, Mize, McKay and Kieboom.

    Nothing against Larry Walker, who was a very good player in the 90's and was even named 1997 NL MVP over Bonds and others. But any point in your life did you think you were watching a hall of fame player when you watched Larry Walker? I learned Ken Griffey Jr. was a Hall of Famer when I was like 9 years old. I learned Larry Walker was a hall of famer yesterday.

    It's a great time for people named Larry.  A golden age, some would say.

    But no, never in a million years did I ever think Larry Walker would be in the hall of fame someday.  Tim Raines has to make it now, right?  He was at least 25x more awesome in my memory.

    I hope you are joking and want Harold Baines in too?

    They should have mentioned that Minutemaid was once Enron Field!  Is it really fitting now that they used to be called that?

    Welcome to 2017.
    I talked w an old timer at a card show and he had no qualms about having Raines in the HOF.  He told me to check his numbers for his first 10 years.  I did and he was great.  I had never looked at his stats before and he had a hell of a career starting off.
