| Re: MLB - HOF if they retired today
I will use Tom Dogg's list to say whether or not they'll get in if they retired today.
Barry Bonds - Obviously. The voters would have to be the biggest dickhead writers ever to not let the best player of this generation in just because of some speculation. He was a 3-time MVP at 190lbs. Fuck writers.
Ken Griffey Jr. - Yeah, he's done more then enough. Would have been the best if not for all the injuries.
Alex Rodriguez - Yes, he's a 2-time MVP and 500 homer club member.
Roger Clemens - No shit.
Pedro Martinez - see Clemens.
Manny Ramirez - I think he will. He's been more productive then almost anyone for a decade now. batting average is over .300 for career.
Tom Glavine - Yup, 300 wins.
Jason Giambi - No. He admitted to using steroids and we've never seen how good he could be without them.
Craig Biggio - He might get in because he's not a steroid guy, but he's a compiler in my book.
Frank Thomas - Definitely in. He is a 2-time MVP, career avg over .300 and was dominate before the steroid era.
Sammy Sosa - Yeah, but he's a luck son of a bitch. I never thought he was great without 'roids.
Jorge Posada - No. Few more years.
Mike Piazza - Yeah, greatest hitting catcher maybe ever..
Ivan Rodriguez - Yeah, awesome defensively has a ton of GG's and was a solid hitter.
Miguel Tejada - No. Way too early for him.
Gary Sheffield - Few more productive years.
Chipper Jones - See Sheffield, but he does have an MVP.
Vladdy Guerrero - Possibly, his career avg is like .325 and he has an MVP already.
Albert Pujols - If he keeps up this pace, no doubt about it
Mariano Rivera - Obvious
Trevor Hoffman - Yeah, 500 saves
Billy Wagner - No.
Randy Johnson - Yes
Greg Maddux - Obvious
David Ortiz - Few more years.
Johan Santana - See Pujols
John Smoltz - Yes, dominate at closer and starter
Andruw Jones - Not yet. He needs those 500 homers to add to his awesome defense.
Ichiro - Yeah, career .330 since he came over, GG's, MVP, he's been incredible.
Jeff Kent - No
Mike Mussina - No
Jim Thome - Not yet.. needs more homers. He's a potential steroid guy.
Omar Vizquel - Maybe, but not a 1st ballot. It might take a while.
Kenny Rogers - No
Jason Varitek - No
Kenny Lofton - No, good but not great. See Biggio.
Derek Jeter - A lock. Too many postseason heroics to not get in. |
