Chipper, Thome, and Hoffman are no brainers. I guess I never considered Vlad a HOFer. But that dude could hit a baseball and had a cannon of an arm.

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Why not? Because he was a DH? How many players can you name that made the hall of fame because of their defense? I can think of one. Bill Mazeroski.
Edgar certainly has the numbers to be in.

Ken Griffey Jr. somehow wasn't unanimously voted in last year. Even fucking Babe Ruth wasn't a unanimous vote! Bunch of pretentious douchebags.
IT is absolutley absurd that guys like griffey, Mike Schmidt, Nolan Ryan, Rickey Henderson, and others like that aren't all unanimously voted in. The worst are guys that say "yea, he's a hall of famer, just not a first ballot hall of famer." How fucking stupid does that sound? What's the fucking difference if it's the first or 4th time on the ballot?
Anyone that didn't vote for ken griffey Jr should lose their vote. And part of the problem is that voters can only vote for 10 guys. Which is stupid. A voter should be able to vote for whoever is eligible. It makes no sense to limit the number of people you can vote for.

I'd say Ozzie Smith got in because of defense.
Not too many other .262 lifetime hitters with 28 career HR were first ballot HOFers.
griffey may have juiced
also, I wonder (seriously) what would have been the fastest pitch fat babe ever had to hit.

Griffey most likely juiced, just never got caught and people liked him so reporters didn't try and dig up dirt on him.
His power stats are a perfect bell curve showing the years he juiced and his body breaking down at the end is another tell tale sign.
I agree, if you want to vote for everyone eligible, you should be able to do so. Not just for 10 people.
Even so, the fields were generally bigger back then.

Edit - 108 is nasty
-my dad after hearing Not for You for the first time on SNL .
Evers to Tinker To Chance...
Three people made famous for their defense from a poem!
Jones was an amazing bat and fielder.
Thome was class and a good hitter, good fielder too.
Vladimir I loved. Loved him. He is not a HOF player though...
Hopefully Bonds and Clemens get in soon.
Edgar Martinez doesn't have the numbers so everyone needs to stop with him going in. He doesn't have any of the big numbers.
When Pappi Ortiz is eligible he will get in because he has that magical 500HR in his reume.
Actually its Tinkers to Evers to Chance.
And the 3 titles and numerous clutch post season hits.
That's how I learned about them in a book about baseball!
Baseball was a numbers game up until the hall of fame became the Hall of good the last few inductions...
