Granderson has 344 career HR, an .803 career OPS, 47.1 career Baseball Reference WAR.

I don't know how closely you've followed Hall of Fame voting in the past, but he definitely has the resume of a ballot guy. Making the ballot itself is considered an honor.

Zobrist?

His wife has a better chance at the HOF.

KC_Connection 11-18-2024 03:49 PM

Bonds, Clemens and Carlos Delgado

Rasputin 11-18-2024 05:02 PM

Pete Rose

If Ichiro isn’t unanimous some assholes need their votes revoked.

Zobrist is not even close to the worst player on the ballot.

World Series MVP with 8.6 and 7.6 WAR seasons.

George Liquor 11-19-2024 02:11 PM

Ichiro and A-Rod

GloucesterChief 11-19-2024 02:49 PM

King Felix is so underrated. Probably the best pitcher in the league for multiple seasons, just the Mariners were so terrible during his whole career.

carcosa 11-19-2024 02:52 PM

Ben Zobrist ONLY!!!

George Liquor 11-19-2024 02:55 PM

I want to see the 80s-90s steroid era players start getting in, yeah they cheated, but everyone was cheating and baseball was ****ing awesome in the 90s.

I'm a steroid era elitist.

teedubya 11-19-2024 06:11 PM

Rafael Palmeiro
Roger Clemens
Barry Bonds
Mark McGwire
Alex Rodriguez

Where's Sammy and Manny? Hahaha, can you imagine? They'd call it the "Year of the Needle". I wonder how many current HOFers would even bother to show up for something like this?

HonestChieffan 11-19-2024 06:46 PM

Zobrist cause hes a good person, Beltran was a gamer. Just put those two in and the rest can wait. They put too many in anyway.

KC Shox 11-19-2024 06:52 PM

A-Rod, Palmeiro, Clemens, Bonds, Schilling and Rose should all be in, no brainer candidates.

Ichiro, CC and Wagner for 2025 class.

Future retired HOFers are Pujols and Cabrera. But after that, it’s slim pickings for awhile

Garcia Bronco 11-19-2024 07:08 PM

Mark McGwire Barry Bonds and Pete Rose.

Howa bout Sammy Sosa ?

Carlos Beltran is one of the most underrated players of the era.

He's maybe a little fringy as a HoFer but he'd be far from the worst guy there. Pretty close to an 'average' CFer with some pretty impressive and uncommon power/speed traits to boot.

Bottom line is that if Andre Dawson is in the Hall, Beltran easily should be.

I would’ve leaned toward a Sosa induction but when he got busted for using a corked bat in a ballgame, that was the nail in the coffin.

Demonpenz 11-19-2024 10:51 PM

Beltran Ichiro and a rod for me

Beltran might already be in if it wasn't for the Astros cheating scandal.

He had 57.1% in year two with eight tries left. I think he'll get to 75% by year 10.

There’s no way Sosa should get in if guys like bonds, McGwire and Clemens are blackballed

Those 5-6 guys are basically the only reason casual fans watched baseball.
