Ron Santo in the Hall of Fame?

[BDawk]

Because he'd probably try to kick me in the nuts and might hurt himself.

[Dryden]

Ron is a pretty fiesty guy.

[BeefMaster]

Stock - I think Dryden's question (worst player you think belongs in the Hall) has merit.  You don't have to go through the rolls and pick one; rather, pick a player you know somewhat who you think roughly meets your bare minimum for qualification.  This will give us a better idea of your standards.

I still think Bill Simmons' pyramid is a good idea - Stock's strictness has a place (cutting off who makes which level), and the current permissive standards can still allow more people in.

Veteran's Comittee vote results to be released today.  Will the 5th best 3rd basemen in the history of baseball* be voted in?

*As rated in 2003 by baseball historian Bill James

[BDawk]

Santos L Halper?

[Shooty]

Santos L Halper?

If he can get a credit card, he surely belongs in the hall of fame.

[ultimate7]

Denied again, by 5 votes.  Again fuck the veteran's comittee.  I might smash my Mike Schmidt starting lineup figure tonight.

[ultimate7]

Again tomorrow, another Veteran's committee vote will be announced.  Santo's best chance as the somehow changed voting rules a bit.  I think he will get in this time

[Stock]

I hope not.

[ryno]

He'll get in this year.  The Vet's committee is under pressure to put someone in.

There's no one more deserving than Santo.

I'm hoping for Dick Allen and Santo --- both should have been put in long ago.

Mike Schmidt is leaps and bounds better than Ron Santo.  my favorite thing that ron santo ever did was end his career as a utility man on the white sox...that and "OHHHH NOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOO" after brant brown dropped that fly ball.

No question Schmidt was probably the best 3rd baseman ever (at least until ARod), but he is an asshole because he won't vote Santo into the HOF

[Nacho]

There's no one more deserving than Santo.

You can't possibly actually believe this.

[ultimate7]

Of those not currently in?  He's the 5th best 3rd basemen of all time.

[Attezz]

Schmidt, Brooks Robinson, George Brett, Eddie Mathews, Molitor, McGraw, Groh, Ken Boyer....Scott Rolen...

[TempoGL]

...Robin Ventura?

[Attezz]

Vinny Castilla

[Nacho]

...Aramis Ramirez?

It IS Ryno we are talking about here.
