He has a long article at http://joeposnanski.si.com/2012/01/09/a-long-hall-of-fame-review/#more-8779

My favorite line-"Raines is criminally underrated." Synopsis-Morris will get in, but is not worthy.

Teams made up of players (starting in 66) who were on the ballot only one year, but received more than one vote:


C: Ted Simmons or Bill Freehan

1B: Will Clark or John Olerud

2B: Lou Whitaker or Willie Randolph

SS: Bobby Grich or Jim Fregosi

3B: Buddy Bell or Darrell Evans

OF: Sal Bando or Jack Clark

OF: Reggie Smith or Cesar Cedeno

OF: Minnie Minoso or Jose Cruz

DH: Frank Howard or Darryl Strawberry

P: Rick Reuschel or Dennis Martinez

P: Kevin Brown or Dwight Gooden

P: David Cone or Bret Saberhagen

P: Jerry Koosman or Jimmy Key

P: Dave Stieb or Milt Pappas

CL: Dan Quisenberry

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Darrell Evans is not even a 1% chance of ever getting into the HOF, yet I would rate him better than at least 25-30% of the players already in.

    They were obviously afraid to hit it to him. MJ
