Which of these hitters (if any) should be in the HOF

[sportscardtheory]

There are always discussions about which players we think should not be Hall of Famers, let's talk about some hitters who you think SHOULD be HOFers and aren't.

 

[Lars]

Torre - crossed the barrier between being a pretty good player years ago to becoming a long-respected manager for several teams, but particularly with the Yankees.

Evans - the stats guys believe this guy is criminally underrated, so maybe there is some merit in their argument.

Trammell - he was an offensive force at shortstop like Cal Ripken Jr. and Robin Yount were in the 1980s and perhaps he should get more credit as such.

Santo no question

Santo should've been inducted BEFORE he passed away

I'm surprised that there are so few votes for Ted Simmons. The guy was clearly a Hall of Famer. Hall of Fame catchers are few and far between, so to keep one out who was so worthy is a travesty.

Better question, who the hell is Bill Dahlen?


I voted Torre.

I voted Torre.

Dahlen was one of the best hitting shortstops of all-time and is 11th place on the all-time qualified fielding-percentages for shortstops.

He also has the most ever errors in MLB history.

+1 his numbers are great for a catcher yet he gets no HOF mention at all

....Torre will be inducted as a manager, not a player.

....Torre will be inducted as a manager, not a player.

He's also one of the best catchers of all-time that could have easily been inducted to the Hall of Fame.

There are only 9 spots. Ted Simmons is one of the best catchers in MLB history. Like top-10 good. Is Dale Murphy a top-10 talent at his position?

If there were more spots available, I certainly would have put him in.

Joe Torre

I forgot to put in who should be in the hall.Only guys i see are Santo and Trammell.Especially Santo.

 

[mikefrank]

Trammell's WAR compared to other shortstops makes it clear he should be in.

Congratulations, Ron! Maybe we here at FCB can get Trammell in now. lol
