Will a pitcher ever be inducted?

[TbT]

While no pitcher was inducted on the 1st ballot, multiple pitchers were just off the mark of getting in.  The numbers escape me but after Evans 4th place finish, i believe pitcher ranked 5th thru 7th or 8th in top votes.  if those numbers hold true then you could assume at least a pitcher or 2 will make it in this time around.

[Darky]

We do not wish to regret this decision in the future, so we have elected to closely examine our picks and present them at deadline. We are very cautious with our decision due to the magnitude of such a prestigious vote for the first and only RBI HOF in the Galaxy.

We hope that the Federation will not take any unilateral actions that undermine the integrity of the VOTE.

Allies are looking forward to discussing the issue at the upcoming Galactic Empire- NATO Council meeting.

what is up with the love for coleman?  can i get some reasoning behind those who pick him?

[Attezz]

I voted for him (I think, I don't recall, but here's my reasoning if I did) because he single handedly changes any inning he gets on base for, pitchers have to change their strategy, and if he gets on with no outs, he's usually a lock to score.

Plus, ya know, firecrackers.

[TbT]

I dont think Coleman is a legit HOF'er for RBI.  I do think him being on an occasional ballot is warranted though.  

[TbT]

To go one step further in ATG style...if you keep Coleman off the basepaths, more than likely ST louis will lose.  hows that? 

Coleman being hard to get a force out on, coupled with the speed of ozzie behind him makes for headaches when those 2 are getting hits. 
If thats happening then its much harder to sneak around lindeman/Clark. 

[Attezz]

If they both get on, you'll likely have 1st and third (cause Vince should have stolen second), do you not keep Herr in? I'd think it'd be better to have a quick lefty up who will probably not hit into a double play than a guy like Lindeman.

This is actually even more reason to vote FOR the guy.  You're saying that if he gets on base his team wins.  Can't say that about many players in RBI except for maybe Lopes and Raines, right?
